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.

Good, insightful visit
Dr. Ragoonanan went over details of my symptoms. We talked about what treatments were possible. We also talked about treatments that would work besides medications. I don't like taking medication, so I am going to try those first. Though, I know she stated that was an option.

She's very kind and really takes the time to listen. I really appreciate her for that and she made me feel welcomed and helped me feel better about myself and pushed me to continue working on myself to improve overall health. Very knowledgeable and explains everything so that it is understandable to me.
