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.

Rude, Horrible bedside manner
First visit, she walked in, introduced herself and stated we don’t prescribe pain medication. She is rude and speaks over you. She prescribed a medication that not only did not help, it made me worse. When I refused to continue the medication, she raised her voice calling me noncompliant and stating I would learn the hard way. I found a new rheumatologist and learned she had misdiagnosed me. I do not recommend her at all.
