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.

He is one of the best .
I have been a patient for 33 years. That tells it all. He is very caring and nothing stumps Dr. Kouba. He has the bedside manners that you want. He loves his work and and strives to help his patients. I have never in my 33 years heard any complaints from anyone. I always hear praise and how he helped.

He had no idea what was wrong and seemed to be completely disinterested in trying to help me. Just because I wasn't screaming in pain doesn't mean I haven't been suffering from Achilles tendonitis for the past THREE Months. I'm going to find someone who can assist me, obviously Dr. Kouba is not that guy. ...and I was waiting for 2 and a half hours!!!
