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.

We started out okay but I was alarmed when he doesn't believe in doing a lot of scans. How are we supposed to know if the cancer is progressing? Lately we have not been able to get in to see him but are given a nurse instead. This is not acceptable as we have been been dealing with cancer for years and need expertise at this late stage. We request to see him but are given the nurse so we will be seeking care elsewhere. We're paying for him. He seems distracted and didn't order right tests

His unwillingness to TAKE THE TIME to listen to the patient resulted in her near death not once but twice, due to complications from his treatments. A different doctor stepped in just in time on both occasions. I absolutely would not recommend this practice to anyone.
