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.

Very nice Doctor, very nice place.
Everyone at this place is very nice, from the receptionist at the front to the nurses . I have never seen such nice and professional staff in a such a long time. The Doctor was really kind and calm . Just a great experience overall. I am happy that I chose this place over all the others I could have gone to.

A Dr Who Truly Knows His Stuff
Dr.Makoni was very kind and patient, I ended up having to take my two toddlers with me to my appointment and of course they were doing as toddlers do which was touching and asking questions but Dr.Makoni worked around them to get me situated. He targeted my concerns and came up with a plan.

Incompetent
Don’t waste your time on this “doctor”. He is really lazy. He said I was okay yet my chart showed several out of range scores. When I tried to get clarity on this, I was met with immediate annoyance. He consistently kept talking over me, tried to rush me off the phone for asking about my results, and had overall poor bedside manner. He kept saying “he didn’t know” to multiple questions and asked me to ask my doctor. My fault for asking a hematologist about my blood results. Seriously. Never have I met a more incompetent doctor who will waste your time and money and not care.

I recently had chemotherapy and was very impressed with the entire team. Everyone was warm and always made me feel comfortable. I did notice that they didn’t wipe down chairs between patients but I brought my own disinfectant wipes and they soon followed suit and in the waiting room they turned every other chair around for safety. Dr Makoni my Oncologist was so caring, warm with good eye contact. He was so on top of things and actually was filling out my disability paperwork as we spoke! I would highly recommend them for the best care possible!!
