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 have been a patient of Dr Sara Pinkel for 17 years!! I am asymptomatic, which makes diagnosis very difficult. Dr Pinkel has diagnosed my health issues in timely manner so I am alive today. She cares for each of her patients whether she just started assisting them with their medical needs or a long time. She is a great rarity of a fantastic doctor!

After online research Dr. Pinkel has 5* review. I want to Dr. Pinkel for my annual Physical exam. I have diabetes from my mom for more than 10 years, she suggested and sent me to a non-MD for Diabetes Education. Mr. David Nauyen on my visit he insisted he want me have insulant short which made me very sick that afternoon, and prescribed me METFORMIN I took once a day for 3 times. Every time after I took the medicine I was so sick, stomach cramp can?t function my daily life.
