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.

Does he know what he's doing??
Telehealth
Told me to 'continue oral phosphorus supplementation and go to the ER if symptomatic'. But I don't have access to oral phosphorus supplements, insurance denied them, and ER won't treat my condition with infusions of phosphorus until it's below my levels, even though I am already quite symptomatic. Phosphorus infusions are not safe without inpatient monitoring. Not sure this nephrologist knows what he's doing.

Poor excuse for a doctor
I've been his patient for months and he will not call back. His office doesn't tell him or ask about emergency situations. Entire office is inadequate. He is ignoring patients. Do not go to this 'nephrologist'. He does not care about people. His office does not call back to resolve issues. I've needed bp meds badly with bps over 200/100
