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.

The only reason he got 1 star is because you have to give at least 1. My mom needed a general surgeon for a biopsy. First thing, good NP was a jerk because Mama doesn't go to a GP. She doesn't like doctors. That is her right. That's all she could focus on for the first 10 minutes. I had finally had enough. I told her we were there to discuss the tumor and I had questions. After she called me Dr. Google, I let her have it. She has complete lack of respect for how people feel and she turns people off from doctors that already don't want to be there. Next week Valente explains that we're there to learn that no results were back, mind you Mama is miserably sick and shouldn't be up. I had questions and he was snarky about asking him anything. He said nothing was back, the doctor he forwarded the results to read them to us on the same day that he said nothing was back. He was in the hall telling his NP that Mama was too far gone for saving after he told me there were no results. Egotistical
