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 Tigar has been seeing my son who is now 15 since he was born. He as well as his nursing staff are phenomenal. I couldn’t imagine a better pediatrician around.

Dr. Tigar is fabulous! He listens to our questions and answers everything regardless of how silly they may seem. He reassures is as new parents and gives our little boy excellent care. Can’t recommend him enough!
