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.

Dr. Kilari is the best!
Dr. Kilari is very personable. I guess what sticks out the most from the visit was the way he explains everything in great detail and terms that we can understand. We are very pleased with Dr. Kilari.

Very nice and doesn’t rush
I met this doctor while I was at Baylor Scott hospital, and I was impressed even then. My follow up visit at the clinic. He was just as kind and patient with me as any doctor can be. I did not feel rushed and he explained everything perfectly.
