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.

3 stars is giving him to much credit.
he's the Joe Biden of the medical community. 50 years of nothing. Very unprofessional. Options without basis of one test or exam. I can do that myself. I researched my wife's issues. He's using words elementary to her issues and then blowing smoke up our A S S. He should have said, I just don't know. Which he didn't. I had to confront him before he suggested UCSF. 3 days of waisted time at Kaweah Delta in Visalia. Great cardiac program there. I wouldn't give them one star on the neurology dept. To much ego to admit he just didn't know. Total Putz.
