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 don’t get the other reviews.
He listened, asked questions, did lots of tests, asked more questions, did more tests. I felt he was doing everything he should be doing for an urgent care visit. He ended up admitting me to the hospital.

Fellow medical professional
Refused to clarify an error in a prescription he sent to my pharmacy. Was annoyed and acted as though it was my job to guess what he meant in the script that had two different directions in the sig line and compromise patient safety, let alone my license. Very rude, would not recommend.
