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.

Professional, explains everything.

Dr. Pica is a very nice doctor but if you do not have an easy problem to diagnosis, she writes you off. Her nurse does not have one sympathetic bone in her body and she takes two to three days to return your call. She has told me “there is nothing more that can be done” when my lab work came back normally despite the fact that I was still exhibiting symptoms and “that I am too young to feel this way.” I should have switched primaries months ago... six months after I first went to Pica, I am the same if not worse.
