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. Chimata was our primary care physician for many years and we recommended him to family and friends. For this reason, it was very disappointing when he handled a hip injury my daughter suffered in a way that seemed driven not by an interest in her well-being but rather by a desire to maximize charges. Furthermore, Dr. Chimata was angry when I opted for physical therapy rather than drugs and surgery to address a shoulder injury. If you prefer try low-tech approachs first, avoid Dr. Chimata.

This Dr is horrible. He ignored my Mother’s symptoms calling her severe pains arthritis and acted as if she was abusing pain meds. All along she had stage 4 cancer. The pain she was experiencing was cancer in her bones. He and his office staff are rude. His nurse smells of cigarettes. Stay far away!
