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.

Doesn’t care about your Health
Updated Review! Please don’t see this lady Turns out the blood results that this doctor failed to provide me support with because precancerous. AGAIN due to her lack of support and preventative medical care which this is the reason why we see a primary care doctor for preventative care, I had to meet with a new supportive doctor through GW Medical office and they supported me through my life-changing events. Please I beg you people, DONT MEET WITH THIS DOCTOR.Meet at your on risk, you will only be a number to check off a to-do list and not a individual. Lately it appears that I’m receiving healthcare by email from Dr. Medley. During my appointment on February 1, 2024, it felt like I was at a fast food restaurant only seeing her for 15 minutes for an annual visit. Now I need further support but her next follow up appointment is in April. I wish I had a PCP doctor that cared a little bit about me individually. At this time I choose to locate one. I hate to do this to another black woman

Dr. Medley is one of the best actors that I've ever had. I am very lucky to be a patient of hers. She is extremely thorough, but will also answer any questions that you have and if for some reason she can't, she will put you in touch with the right people.

The Care provider was pleasant enough. However, I didn't feel attended to. While my questions were answered the feel, overall, was she needed to get to her next patient.

Dear Dr. Sylvia R. Medley,I am writing to express my deep disappointment and concern regarding the way you treated me during my recent visit to your clinic. Given your experience and age, it is truly disheartening to see such a lack of compassion and professionalism in your interactions with patients. It is not just your medical education that should guide you to be kind and considerate, but also your life experiences. Unfortunately, my experience with you has left me feeling that you are both heartless and rude.During my visit, I felt completely unheard and disregarded. Despite my attempts to communicate my concerns, you essentially instructed me to wait and then never returned to the room. Instead, you sent another staff member who seemed completely unaware of my situation. This kind of treatment is unacceptable, especially in a busy clinic where you encounter numerous patients who rely on your care and expertise.Given the severity of my experience, I strongly believe that some
