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.

I am extremely happy with his recommendations and care. I understand he's going to work part time and I will certainly miss him.

I got off the phone feeling very sad and depressed. I felt like a number to this doctor. Not a good bed side manner. I felt negative when I got off the phone with this doctor.

Told me he wouldn't treat my pain
I am a brain cancer patient who was suffering terrible surgical site pain after a craniotomy. I was referred to palliative care and Dr. Oppenheim told me he won't treat my "headaches" because he doesn't treat headaches. Chronic headaches street craniotomy are a common & documented issue for brain & head injury patients. I left Cedars-Sinai & am now treated compassionately at UCLA because this doctor preferred to not help a brain cancer patient in pain.
