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 attitude ever!

Mothers, BEWARE. I have never been in the presence of a more self righteous and judgmental pediatrician. Her condescending attitude was appalling to say the least. She made it clear from the beginning that she believes in a set time and standard for every child (from walking to potty training), and if your child doesn't meet her "on time" ideals of perfection, watch out.
