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.

Worst Doctors Ever
One of the worst doctors that I have ever encountered. I think he has issues with women.I will never come here again. I had a horrible experience with Dr. Lively. He diagnosed me with whiplash and l just didn’t believe it. I go to the ER to find out I have a spinal injury. Now I’m coordinating care with Johns Hopkins. BIG difference between whiplash and a spinal injury. What if I had been paralyzed because of him? He deserves NO STARTS.I had a spinal fusion in 2022 at Johns Hopkins and Dr. Lively said to me, “people don’t fall down stairs and need spinal fusions”. Well, too bad so sad it happened. He is just a degrading individual with horrific listening skills. Find someplace else to go!

My mom teared up telling me about her visit, on how rude and mean he was to her. Was condescending to her for asking a DOCTOR questions about her health. One of the rudest humans. Should be stripped of his license.
