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.

My initial visit with Dr. Shafipour was surprising - at last a physician in Los Angeles who listened to the patient before giving a list of recommendations. I had a wonderful integrated doctor in NYC, and now one here in Dr. Shafipour. Just made my follow-up appointment and can't wait to return. Excellent, professional, and cares about the patient in front of him. A+
