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.

Dr Askin is excellent in every way He took time to evaluate my situation and answered every question I had. Intelligent, thoughtful,and respectful doctor Very positive experience talking with him

Awful doctor. Probably making too much money now to remember he went into medicine to care for people and not pay for his country club membership. Tee is up Doc, I'm sure you have plenty of time for that.
