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.

Cancelled appointment on the spot- billing excuse
Telehealth
Made appointment after a 2 month wait. On the day and exact moment of my dad’s appointment, Matthew Givens, MD cancelled the appointment because he said there was a billing conflict. Said even Tony dad was discharged from the hospital that morning, he was still an in- patient, up to 24 hours after he left the hospital and therefore my dad could not have this appointment with him. I called Medicare and no, no there is NO SUCH THING AS BEING INPATIENT AFTER YOU LEAVE THE HOSPITAL FOR UP TO 24 HOURS. My dad was confused and extremely disappointed and frustrated with Matthew Givens, MD actions. DO NOT GO TO PALLIATIVE CARE AT FRED HUTCH WITH Matthew Givens, MD- they will cancel on you for non- existent “policy”.
