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.

Incompetent, couldn't-be-bothered staff
1) On 3 occasions they messed up Rx refill. Staff shrugged, took no action to resolve. Just another like Insurance Denied. I called insurance. Multiple requests to staff for reauthorization went ignored. Staff argues with me that it wasn't necessary as if I was lying. I had to get staff an insurance on a 3-way and insist they figure it out NOW. 2) Twice, Dr held a signed medical clearance for upcoming surgery, but it wasn't never sent. On 2nd instance, Dr and Office Manager looked me in the eyes and committed to send. Never made it because the dax number didn't work. They never bothered to call me or surgeon's office to resolve. Surgeon only accepts emails. .3). Twice (I know of) phones were down all day so I drove over to make appointment. 4) Dr can act annoyed and rude. 5) waiting room is usually full- overbooked appts, long wait times. Has thinned out. I've seen staff turnovers but n improvement. Poor attitude must be coming from the top down.

He has been very good to me. He put in a stent after finding a blockage. Would recommend anytime.
