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.

Unreliably and helpless doc
This pain management specialist didn’t really help me enough from what I had every disaster experience with my pain none of those meds worked for me! There is too much limitation for her take care of patients only do every mornings without making things ease on patients availability! I was thankful from her pain management practice gave me someone else for better treatment Owen my tremendous pain via nerves issue!

Terrible experience. Her medical advice was very poor and she only wanted to give me a pain injection.
