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.

I am a long term patient and don't understand those who give him a low rating or says he rushes them. He can be stubborn if believes you truly need a test or medicine but he is honest, takes his time and most of all cares. If you need him you can call him at home, on his cell or anywhere and he answers. If you need him to make a house call because you are physically unable to go to the office he will do it day or night. He takes a personal interest in his patients. What more do you want in a Dr?

I left. The doctor is rude and self righteous. Needs an attitude adjustment. Whats worse, he apparently guns his plane over the houses of patients he doesn't like! i know, because he does it to me! Yikes!

The one star does not apply to the staff, only to the doctor.Rude doctor, constantly in a hurry, does not listen. Tried to follow up by phone and he claimed that he was losing the connection and couldn’t talk. Very frustrating and annoying experience. Would not recommend.

Not a trustworthy person. Doesn’t seem to listen to patients or their families and worst of all seems to have a bad temper. Not something anyone wants to the doctor and especially a doctor geriatric medicine. Steer clear!

Great Dr. and excellent staff. Never a wait. Spends as much time as needed with you, updates your file while you are there and gives you a digital copy when you leave. If you need to go to the ER, he’ll meet you there and manage your care. Physicals are in depth. Very personable. I’ve recommended others to him and they have all remained patients.
