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.

I would avoid the physician if at all possible. Charts and allergies aren’t believed to be real so not avoided. This physician intentionally administered medication that caused the patient an allergic reaction. The allergy is explicitly listed in the chart. The nurse questioned the order and was advised to proceed.

Dr. Sanil Thomas was assigned to my young family member with pneumonia in IClU at NFRMC. He failed to provide appropriate diagnosis and treatment, and he informed family that she would not survive. He showed no interest in options that would increase her chances for survival, urging family to accept the inevitable. After family arranged a transfer to a hospital in another state, the patient had an accurate diagnosis and was discharged home in 8 days.
