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.

Was sent to Dr Best for an IME by Workers Comp Insurance Employer, the WC Insurer was located in the same office building as Dr Best Dr Best is the most rude, unprofessional, MD, who is totally treatment incompetent, but gets paid well for his service to the WC Insurance Companies You may want to check out other Patient Reciews as well,,, check out his Hospital Acceotances for operating privileges,, if you have an appointment with this man, I predict you may regret it,,, he's a letter writer for the Insurance Companies ! One of the worse, rudest people you'll ever encounter

Bring a witness! He told me to my face that I would do well with aquatic therapy for my injury and that he would suggest gym access and biweekly PT follow up to the insurance company. He assured me “I am their expert. They have to listen to what I say”. However, his report said that I did not need any more physical therapy, would be back to normal within a few more weeks and I would not need any further follow up appointments to determine this sudden complete recovery. He also told multiple patients in the waiting room we would need to return for a portion of the examination that couldn’t be performed due to a system downage during a storm. I was never called back to complete the examination, but his report was magically “complete”. There were many errors in his report that are easily proven via records. I would not wish this doctor on anyone. He tells blatant lies through his teeth to avoid confrontation and only serves the hired insurance company who writes his huge checks!

The only thing I can say for this Dr. is.....wait, there are no words. TAPE RECORD ANY AND ALL interactions you have with this snake. Work FOR worker comp attys. I went in thinking the worst because of reviews, but was amazed when he sided with me on injury/impairments. Once i got to seewhat he reported......LIES. Amazingly enough went from 12% to 0%....my injury left me in better health! So there is that! You have been warned!

He is the rudest so called dr I have ever been to. He is a quack! I go there for a work injury and he blamed it on my weight. He is definately for the insurance. He might as well called my other doctors stupid. He was my worst nightmare!

Dr. Best is the worst doctor I have ever been to. He resonates arrogance, rudeness, and disrespect to patients.
