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.

What happened here
After missing an appointment due to emergency work travel, Dr. Refused to refill a prescription I have been on for 3 years. When you deal with pain medication is important. Dr. Komboz seems to have forgotten this or her office is dictating. Either way after recent treatment from office staff I would highly recommend elsewhere. ANYWHERE

my old rheumatologist retired in 2015. I was very concerned about my relationship with a new rheumatologist because I had been a patient with my old rheumatologist for over 20 years. Lo and behold, she far exceeded my expectations. She not only has a warm, inviting personality…… But she is very patient and not just here’s what a person is saying , But she listens to them.

She was the only doctor I’ve seen who took my symptoms seriously and suggested treatment. She spent a lot of time with me and was extremely thorough. She is so kind and so is the staff.
