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.

This doctor is not worth seeing. He does not listen or care about me as a patient. I was in extreme pain which I explained to him was a 10 on the pain scale. He performed an XR and stated I have calcification of the tendons in my shoulder He refused to order pain medication or even Ibuprofen or give me a shot of Torodal (Non Narcotic) stating the EHR would not let him because I had an allergy to a different med on my list. I work as a builder on the same EHR and kno he could override allergies notifications. It was a Friday nigh and he knew I could not get in to see my PCP. I ended up in the ER, so more money spent just to get treated. I am mad

Dr Vilter was wonderful, listening carefully to my symptoms and asking very relevant questions for clarification. He was excellent in his review of my history and gave thorough directions for my post visit care

Dr. Vilter is a poor listener and forms conclusions and opinions without asking questions or being inaqusitive about symptoms, medical history, or patient concerns. He acts disinterested in helping to solve problems related to disability and accessibility. He is also abrupt and impatient.
