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.

horrible behavior – Apr 06, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Houslanger?
Their scheduling person needs to be trained better. I had an appointment today and when I arrived I was told I didn't have an appointment. I always put my appointments in my phone calendar before I even leave the doctor's office. I was also told that I missed my appointment on Feb 8th...which I WAS THERE FOR!! That was my first appointment. This was supposed to be my second follow-up appointment. They don't know what they are doing. Wasted my time. I WILL NOT BE BACK!!

I have seen Dr. Houslanger twice in late 2018. He is not merely competent and professional; he exceeds, it seems, all other medical practitioners in compassion and kindness. I have a phobia about pain and needles, and I told him about this when I first met him. Well, as it turned out, he very much needed to inject me (3 times) with a needle to do his work. Regrettably, I panicked during that first visit with him. But he was kind and respectful in the utmost! I will never forget his kindness.
