Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have had several horrible experiences with this man. He refuses to discuss health concerns, pushes pills without therapy or context, when asked why about certain issues such as hormones being out of balance he shrugged and said "I dunno. What do I look like, a doctor?" and told me to find a gynecologist. When I asked about a toenail issue, he took a sample and never gave me my results and said he didn't believe it was a fungus. When I asked "what is it then?", he shrugged and said "I dunno. See a podiatrist." When I told him a certain blood pressure medication wasn't effective, he told me to double the dose, instead of going back on one that was effective. When I refused and asked questions, he got angry and then told me to "go home and talk to the men in my life about why I should listen to them". I told him "that's not right" and he replied "yes it is". I said "no, this is not fair, that every time I want to discuss my health, getting to the root of the problem, you shrug it off"
What went well
