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.

Dr. Olfus was rude, arrogant, and dismissive. Would give her 0 stars if I could.

Joke of a doctor
Do NOT go to this doctor. I went to her, was gaslit for a year. Did multiple tests SHE couldn’t find the results for. Ended up in the hospital with severe symptoms and almost died. Do NOT go to this lady unless you want to die. She does not care, she will gaslight you. If I could I would give her negative stars. Save your life.

Almost died Patient – Dec 20, 2024

One of the worst providers I have ever seen.
Really concerned that this person is practicing medicine. She is not an MD, but an osteopath. I saw her several times after my medical group hired her to take over when my amazing GP left. I would recommend you see anyone else but her if you need to be seen. She has a terrible bedside manner and will challenge you and undertreat your condition. Every interaction has been fraught with arguments, even when filling regular, life-saving medications (not talking about pain meds, or anything of the sort). Her knowledge of my health conditions was surprisingly lacking and I am planning to visit the other GP in my medical group.

After seeing her several times, was told the doctor isn’t comfortable writing a referral for you because she doesn’t remember seeing you. Uhhhhh.... you have the chart right in front of you, it shows exactly how many times she’s seen me. Always problems getting referrals in time for appointments when they’ve had months to do it. Bad bedside manner. NP is the same. Nobody here is invested in care. You wait forever to be rushed out and treated poorly. Finally changed my pcp today!

Zero! Stars is what that fraudulent women should have! After risking my helath I researched her and found she is NOT A MD! She is just a DO which is some holistic way of becoming a doctor she has ZERO BOARD CERTIFIED although she present her her self as she has both!!! We have reported her to every government office that is in charge of those matters! We are filling a hugh lawsuit against her and the facility she is working for.

One of the worst doctors I have ever experienced. Has purposely withheld a specialist referral out of spite even though the symptoms warrant it. Been suffering in pain for 2 months. Was told that at 42 I am old...I am Fat and she thinks it is just arthritis so I need yo get over it. Fat shames her patients....and her staff referred to another medical associate as an "idiot". Really professional. Urgent appointments do not exist in her world.

NO STARS STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! I thought waiting over an hour in the waiting room was normal this happened EVERY time I was there to be rushed out after not even being in the Patient room for 5 minutes at the most. Unhelpful, Poor customer service, Numerous times I had to go to Urgent Care and was unable to do follow up appointments because the next available appointment would not have been for one to two months. VERY DISAPPOINTED
