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.

He should never have been allowed to practice. How he gets away with this all these years is beyond me. I should have turned him in several years ago when I knew what was going on behind the scenes. I thought at that time I scared him enough but I guess not . He knew what I had on him and he was worried . I have personally seen him neglect and mistreat several patients causing their death. Be careful...he is dangerous... Psychopath compulsive liar fits the profile so well

Worst doctor experience I have ever had. He is rude and egotistical. He should not be a doctor. He left Nevada and went to Florida.

This doctor is definitely very rude. When you try to talk to him about what he recommends or prescribed, or if you try to tell him how you actually feel - he will bash you, he will make you feel like a loser, and he will dismiss anything you say. He thinks he knows it all because he is a doctor, but he obviously and clearly does Not. Ill-advised to recommend this doctor that clearly cares about the money and making sure his license can’t ever be scrutinized - all at his patients’ expense though.

This man was so rude! I was in the hospital being treated for atrial fib. I went for a walk as recommended in my recovery from Valve replacement surgery, I let my nurse know where I was. When Lapuz did not find me in my room he got my nurse and I was where I told my nurse that I would be, sitting quietly, Lapuz from 100ft away called my name, never introduced himself and demanded to know why I was not in my Room. I calmly let him know, he then raged, this is the kind of thing I have to deal with
