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.

Rude and Incompetent Staff
I received a referral to this doctor. The office called to inform me the doctor wanted all my medical records to review. I received them and hand delivered them to the doctor’s office. Almost a month later, I received a call from Kathy stating to call her back. I called the office and was told Kathy was on lunch and she would call me back. I waited over a week with no call back. I called the office again and spoke with Erica and was told Kathy was on another call. I asked if there was someone else that could help me? Answer was no and then asked if I could wait. I was told by Erica Kathy is now on her way to lunch and will have to call you back and then a swift hang up. Stunned I called back and explained that I didn't have much faith that I would get a call back and that I would like to pick up my medical records to which Erica said ok and again hung up on me. I never once through this whole process was rude or unkind to the staff. There was no need for the incompetence and disrespect
