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.

She did not listen to anything I had to say. Did not believe anything unless she saw it. I had to wait months to see her, by that time the drainage in my mouth stopped but she acted like it never happened. Put me in physical therapy for tmj? My gums were swollen, foul taste, pain on the roof of my mouth and a tooth bulging out. The physical therapist didn’t know what to do with me since my jaw movements were not restricted in any way. She did a gum biopsy and when I asked what she was looking for she wouldn’t answer. She said,”a lot of things. Not cancer”. When the results came back all she said was it’s not cancer. Wait… I thought you didn’t think it was that and weren’t even checking for that? She lies in her notes. Said she gave me pain meds after the biopsy… not true but I didn’t need them anyway. Put things I didn’t say in note. Did the post biopsy visit via telemedicine… how can the biopsy site really be looked at that way?All appointments were rushed, she DOES NOT listen.Awful!
