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.

My first visit
The waiting was unpleasant. It seems they overbooked so it was a long wait of over 1.5 hrs. The receptionist wasn’t friendly but all the other staff were very friendly and professional. The doctor took his time to explain the process and to examine me. He was very personal n professional! Would have been an easy 5 star if they improve the waiting time and have someone more pleasant at the front desk!
