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.

Friendly and efficient as always

Dr. Shiffman, is my husband's doctor, been going to him for over 20 years. He is always on time, listens to all of your health issues. He addresses your health problems, if he can't help you, he will get you to a specialist. He cares about you, my husband was in hospital for 6 days with pneumonia, he came to hospital everyday to check on Tom and he is always so nice to me and helpful. All the nurses are nice and helpful and the ladies at front desk very nice and helpful. Lenda and Tom Atkins, April 20, 2022
