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.

September 2004 and September 2005. Misdiagnosed male breast cancer. He didn't know that an inverted nipple was symptomatic of male breast cancer. Another MD sent me for a mammogram and a biopsy. By this time the cancer had advanced to my lymph nodes. In 2010, I had a metastasis to my sternum, radiation followed. Now, 2022, another metastasis on the right side of my trachea. He never said he was sorry.
