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.

Self Serving Magda Houlberg
I saw Magda a few years ago seeking advocacy being a horrendous Hate Crime Victim. She told me she would help me get the help I need. Liar liar panties on fire Magda Houlberg! Now when i made another appointment, her staff calls back and cancels my appointment. I think Magdas hair is on fire.

Poor care of patients
Not impressed.Once again, health care in America isn't about the patient with this practice. They don't return refill requests from the pharmacy and then when you call say you have to come in or have a teleherh visit to get your prescription filled. Soonest appointment...? One month. Will they fill it until the appointment? No. So, my medication, which keeps health conditions in check has to be discontinued until the appointment. No notification that I was due for a visit, I was there 6 months ago...so not sure why I need to come back so soon. Of course, a telehealth visit, with no tests or labs will solve the problem. THIS PRACTICE CARES MORE ABOUT MONEY THAN MY HEALTH.
