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.

Reckless Hospital Lazy Doctors Fail All Around
Avoid Nemours at all expenses. They absolutely are horrible and lazy and will not provide the care your child needs. He is a Chief and he is awful to the patients and refuses them the care they need. We have had so many failures here and he is one of them.

Excellent Pediatric Surgeon
Dr. Poulos is an excellent pediatric surgeon who saved the life of my 7 year old son suffering from perforated appendicitis. He successfully performed the complicated appendectomy and his extraordinary skill and dedication saved my son's life. He accompanied us throughout the lengthy and difficult recovery period, always providing confident and reassuring insights of his experience dealing with the most serious cases of pediatric appendicitis. Always very approachable and patient answering all of our questions. My family and I are forever grateful to him for his skill, dedication, patience, and cordiality in times when we needed them most. Thank you Dr. Poulos for saving our son's life!
