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 chemo was put on hold while I needed to this MD. The office called and needed to reschedule for and could not get me in for a month. I explained my situation and it did not matter. Thankfully My chemo was able to be continued. The day before the rescduled appointment I was called to be rescheduled yet a gain by another two weeks. Very inconsiderate and unprofessional. If I could give zero starts I would.

Went to this doctor because another doctor rendered me. The doctor that sent me there is awesome! But this doctor I absolutely don't like! I looked him up he had a four star rating he isnt old and been in his his field over twenty year's. So I was feeling good. He was extremely late! When he came in he looked very tired. I did hear that he's at hospitials a lot as well. Be didn't ask any questions. Look at my medical history. Kept cutting me off he was in and out! Before he walked out of the room I'm crying my heart out. He didn't try to comfort me or anything. I'm not saying any of this out of being mean or turn anyone away from going to him. Because I'm a Christian. But if your in need of someone to listen to you, make you comfortable, show empthany, brain storming to get you well. Even send you somewhere else to get well. HE IS NOT THE DOCTOR FOR YOU OR YOUR FAMILY! Don't waste your time go somewhere else. I'll stay sick until I find another doctor before going back to him!!!!!!
