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.

I highly recommend her and have to my friends.
Dr Darak is a excellent doctor. She is very thorough and answered all my questions in terms that I could understand.

Dr. Darak has been my GYN for decades. She is honest, trustworthy and I was lucky to have her by my side for the birth and circumcision of my boys. She truly puts your mind at ease and knows what she is doing. Hopefully she will be in practice for a very long time!

Bad experience
Honestly I was very sad when my Gyno doctor left the practice so one of the girls referred her to me. First off I had to wait 30 mins until she showed up. I was there for my annual pap. Omg. Basically she did not give me a warning what she’s going to do to me or walk me through it. everything was just shoved in me. She didn’t explain what she was doing or what she will doing next to me. It was a very painful experience. And the appt was very rushed. Would not recommend

She is DOPE
I got to meet this amazing surgeon/Dr before my 5th planned csection . The day of my C-section she made me feel super calm and was super amazing . No complications during or after surgery . She did my csection. So good I was up and walking around after 7 hours . She truly is a gem. Me and hubby loves her personality ,her vibes and her passion for doing what she do. Even her nurses see her for care which speaks volumes . Thanks Dr. D xoxo . I didn’t need a blood transfusion. My staples were removed on time . My 6 weeks was a breeze . Thanks luv

Great Referral New Patient
As a new patient I came well prepared. Dr Darak was on time and kept on target and referred me to the appropriate other medical professionals I will need as a new patient. Reviewed my history and asked all the right questions. Felt very comfortable and will see her as needed.

Similar experiences as the others who’ve negatively reviewed her here. Dr. Darak is rude and arrogant, and her visits and procedures are unprofessional and rushed. When I questioned her about a test and the odd situation which occurred during the visit, (her assistant actually saying, ‘oops I just dropped some on the floor’,) she became almost belligerent, and the rudeness from her simply never ended from there on. While in the process of looking at other doctors in order to leave her practice she sent me a letter telling me she would no longer treat me. The timing of her letter was almost comical. She picked the wrong profession and IMHO skipped Bedside Manner 101 class.
