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.

Great doctor, great guy!!
Saw him in October 2023 for a loss of smell. He quickly identified all the issues, and has since repaired my sinuses and a deviated septum. Very intelligent and fast. Last but definitely not least, he has a great personality and always has jokes and whatever else to make you most comfortable. A plus bedside manner, which goes very far in today's world. There needs to be 50 more of him. 5 stars plus!!!

Worst experience with a doctor I've ever experienced. Waited 1.5 hrs. He spent 10 minutes with me. Explained nothing. He greeted me with "Oh great, a new patient. There goes lunch". Never introduced himself, didn't ask what happened regarding my injury. He needs to take some classes on how to treat and deal with people with courtesy, compassion and respect. Would not recommend him and will not be back.
