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.

As I would agree with other reviews. He is a very nice person, but completely unplugged from his patients. I went in for a full physical because I'm getting older and I was beginning to worry about my health and I was lucky for him to listen to my heart. I was only 1 of 2 people in the waiting room and waited 2 hours to see him and when I did, it lasted 20 minutes. Now have to reschedule an appointment with another doctor to get the blood work and a feeling of satisfaction from another doctor, along with spending more money. I guess it's good he is retiring because he has lost his ability to be attentive to any of his patients.

My experience has been very positive every time. As I've watched staff interactions they seem to respond with the degree of respect they are given. I think they are great. The doc is great! For me he expressed genuine concern about my health issues and answers every question I ask. Personality, I wouldn't trust anyone else with my healthcare.

I have to agree with the other post. Nice enough person but he acts like he’s just going through the motions. Alwasy late even when you are his first patient. Not engaging is key phrase.he seldom asks about new issues etc, doesn’t explain anything. Lookng for a new doctor.

Consistently over an hour wait past appointment time. Comes into room, plugs in laptop and never once engages the patient- just sits and types on his computer. Very poor interaction. Gives the impression he's looking up the answer to any question you might ask. Office personnel are vicious at times. Web portal is useless. Have billed me incorrectly twice. No info on lab results- just "they were ok, bye".
