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.

She was PHENOMENAL! She listened and was caring. And, I am definitely going back. Great bedside manner.

Dr. Akhter is part time and her patients were not made aware. Her schedule is horrible. Her notification of information of her practicing status, new office location, and scheduling is horrible. There is zero regard for patience time with this physician.
