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 called The Carondelet Health Center today during normal business hours for a script that I realized had no more refills. The woman I spoke to was very nice, Linda and said she would have it called in and ready for tonight. It was not. I just called now and after a 25 minute recorded ordeal, Dr. Sinchak, who is the MD on call refused to take the page. This is a medication I have been on long term and I explained that I was having a panic attack. I'm Dr. Sinchak determined I must wait til Monday
