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.

Unprofessional Staff and Poor Handling of Appointm
I have always appreciated Dr. Bou’s expertise and care, but unfortunately, my recent experience with his office staff was deeply disappointing and unprofessional. A couple of days ago, I made an appointment for my son. Shortly after, we received a call regarding the reason for the visit that I had provided online. Without asking any further questions or discussing options with us, the nurse canceled the appointment and ordered us to take him to the emergency room.When we arrived at the ER, it turned out that nothing serious was wrong. This unnecessary visit could have been avoided if the staff had taken the time to communicate properly. When I called to understand why the appointment was canceled, the nurse sighed dismissively, gave a vague explanation, and ultimately hung up the phone in a rude manner. Sadly, this wasn’t the first time I’ve encountered such behavior from the staff.

Do not recommend
My daughter tested positive for C Diff, Dr Bou referred me on a Friday to a GI, refused to treat. I do not recommend Dr Bou, leaving a child untreated with CDiff is very irresponsible. When I was the one insisting she got tested because he repeatedly said it would be a negative result.

Turned my child away at the door because I forgot a document. He could have easily accommodated us by allowing me to email the paper. Absolutely horrific experience. And my child is struggling with mental health issues.

Front staff very sweet and attentive. Doctor is the best Pediatrician in town. I am a nurse and work with several Doctors but none compare to Dr. Bou. He loves his patients and is always on top of the new american Pediatric guidelines. I highly recommend to all new and experienced moms.

Dr Bou is great with our new baby and he takes time to explain things to us. His son manages the office and he is awesome. I really like that wait time is under 15 minutes
