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.

Dismissed Lyme treatment
Dr. Dirusso dismissed my daughter's symptoms and diagnosis of co-infections related to Lyme disease and refused to treat her.

Dr DiRusso has cared for my 3 sons for their entire lives. As babies she had a beautiful nurturing manner with them and was always attentive to parent concerns. As they grew, she spoke more and more to the children, and treats teens with increasing respect for their growth and development, making them feel grown up and in charge of their own care, including their relationships, safe choices & mental health. We have been so grateful to have her as a partner in raising happy, healthy young men.

We have been seeing Dr. Dirusso for 8 years. She is a very attentive listener, and makes recommendations appropriately, and follows up! We have been very happy with her care of our son.
