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.

Worst Dr. ever
Worst doctor ever. He is unprofessional and insensitive to his patients. He cared for my son and dropped the ball, making unnecessary stupid comments that had nothing to do with medical field. After three visits he still couldn't figure out what was wrong with my son but kept charging us for doctor visits and to write a note to excuse him for the doctor cost us money. Do you yourself and your loved ones a favor and stay away from this doctor.

This doctor was going to do an invasive toe surgery on me where he removed an ingrown toenail by cutting the side skin off. My Podiatrist removed the in grown toenail without cutting half the toe off. He is very hard to understand and was wrong with what to do with my ingrown nail. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND GOING TO HIM!!!!!!

Doesn't even look at you before coming up with a diagnosis to get you out and move on to the next patient. Not willing to do proper tests or Xrays based on symptoms unless the patient "forces" him to. Then he lectures you about how much schooling he has had.
