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.

Overly rude, condescending, unprofessional. This doctor is the reason why I wasn’t tested for something more concerning, only to get the appropriate testing by another doctor to get diagnosed. She seems like she really doesn’t enjoy her job based by my interactions. I’d avoid this doctor at all costs if you value your health.

Dr. Sakmar denied me a simple blood test at my yearly physical. She said because I was 30 she would not do any blood work, even though I was seeking it. When I expressed concern she told me to "get off the Internet" and that blood tests were "too expensive". Her tone was so condescending that I ended up in tears after I left. I never knew that a doctor could deny someone information about their own body without even giving a good reason. Scary.

Dr. doesn't make Eye contact, spends most of the time typing at the computer instead of listening to the patient concerns.
