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.

Experiences
We cannot remove ‘bad’ or one-star reviews. However, as we track our reputation on social media, we have become aware of one or two ‘bad apples’ who continue to post negatively; despite knowing that the review is based on an isolated experience long ago. Many of these ‘trolls’ go on to have negative experiences elsewhere. We will ALWAYS try and rectify a problem rather than allow it to fuel what amounts to social media harassment. Please TALK with us!

Poor Practice
Do not suggest going here long wait times, unprofessional staff etiquette, will harass you via the internet if you disclose your information in review. Stay far away from here, don’t be fooled by the “good reviews”

Thank you!!!
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Auerbach?
Let me start by saying if you have an appointment you can expect to wait a minimum of 30 minutes, usually closer to 45. Plus Dr Auerbach will do your initial visit and then you will NEVER see him again, he pawns you off to the other doctors. they kept pushing antibiotics on my son, and are completely rude.
