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.

My child, who is now a teen, has been seeing Dr. Sela-Herman for years. She has been one of the very FEW doctors who has been able to accurately diagnose my son's GI condition, take into account the neurological impact of Autism on motility issues & toxin build-up/release, and the impact of the GI system on behaviours, his ability to eat or to recognise that he needs to eat, and the importance of looking at the whole child/working with his other specialists in order to develop the entire plan.

The treatment (medications) didn't help my daughter feel better. Another general doctor and a pharmacist were questioning whether my daughter was on the correct medications and dosages to be effective for managing her condition. The wait time was terribly long most of the office visits that we had. Average 1-1.5 hours waiting in the waiting room and then in the examination room before the doctor came in to see my daughter.
