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.

My family and I have been going to Dr. Kotz for almost 9 years now. There have been times when they were not in my insurance plan and I still went and paid cash. That is how much I loyal her and her office. She will sit with me for as much time as I need and make sure that all my concerns are met. She does not send me out for unnecessary tests. My daughter loves he as well. I will follow her everywhere! I highly recommend her and every doctor at Palisades family practice. But she is a Gem.

Unprofessional staff. They don't take the time to get to know your medical history which is very dangerous.

she was very uninterested in proper referrals which nearly cost me my life with subsequent mini strokes all because she didn't want extra paperwork!
