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.

Had the worst experience with Dr. Peter Hou, he was rushing, he was not listening to the relevant patient history and ultimately he completely lacked the understanding of the complex Ob/Gyn issue that the patient presented with. One of the hallmarks of a good ER doctor are truly listening to the patient/family and addressing their concerns, as well as recognizing when they need a specialist consult. Once the issue was addressed with a knowledgeable Ob/GYN she immediately acknowledged that the patient’s history was extremely relevant to the case and answered all of our questions in a satisfactory manner. Dr Peter Hou not only failed to address any of my concerns but his non-existent bedside manner was needlessly upsetting for everybody involved. I have not filed a complaint with the state medical board yet but I do have do have serious concerns that Dr. Hou is providing substandard patient care.
