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.

Dr Muchowski was the meanest doctor ever. She was condescending and spoke to me like I was stupid and basically disregarded my medical history (I'm only 24 and a patient from Loma Linda as a child). She disregarded my lab work from the ED a week ago as well. Never addressed my concerns but told me to return in 4 weeks. Why would anyone return?

I was exceptionally pleased with Dr. Muchowskis care and knowledge. I was an RN for 30 years and would feel comfortable recommending her to anyone. She is very thorough and from what I can discern stays up with the latest studies. Her nurse Teresa is very efficient and friendly as are the front desk girls. Patricia Tobey

Very through in her physical for my first visit. She even palpated my thyroid which other Dr’s had never done before. Her follow up with my Cardiologist was really helpful in determining whether I was supposed to take a prescription that I dreaded. Thank God her follow through spared me. She represents what good medical practice is all about.

Dr. Muchowski would never give me any of the special provider referrals I asked for and continued to insist on alternative meds/ therapies for issues I brought to her attention. I feel like her only objective was to schedule me for more visits that she could then charge me for. My insurance requires a pcp referral before allowing me to see a specialist so I have still not had any of my concerns addressed.
