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.

Dr. Mirza has been the worst doctor I have had. She is very dismissive and doesn't have time to hear YOUR concerns. She has misdiagnosed me, not called in prescriptions and changed medication dosage without my knowledge. Dr. Mirza should retire because she just doesn't care.

Dr. Mirza became my PCP following a nearly six month search. She has proven ideal both because of her ability as a physician, and because she has a superb team supporting her. Tests are done in house. Medical guidance is clear and it works. She even has effective management for Really Wicked Colds! This is the level of care I was used to when younger, now largely gone, but all the latest advances folded in. I cannot praise too highly.

I felt rushed and not listened to. A lot of my concerns were dismissed. I didn't feel like I received the full attention for what I was experiencing. It was more of a "let me check you out, your fine okay, bye." I wont be back.

Dr. Mirza has a warm comforting presence. I have never once felt rushed or cut off - she listens carefully without interrupting. She's been my doctor for more than 20 years and has yet to steer me wrong.
