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.

Really needs a 0 star review
Keeping it short and sweet, this doctor will misdiagnose, not listen to your symptoms, tell you to follow up with a specialist and give you meds to send you on your way. I don't trust him.

Bizarre, threatening behavior.
I was seen in the Emergency Room by Dr. Valerianvery briefly. His nurse gave me a shot (no band-aid applied) and left the room because it was busy. They handed me discharge papers 3 minutes later and when I asked if we could wait around to see if the shot worked, I was met by his speech about how we don't give pain meds like that. He understood I had Trigeminal Neuralgia (look that up). Would not recommend until he gets retrained on assessing patients, rather than dismissing them in a rude, threatening way. Zero stars.

If I could give zero stars, I would. This doctor is rude, arrogant, patronizing, and dismissive. I’m ashamed a health care system as reputable as Froedtert would employ such an awful doctor. I will be telling everyone I know to avoid the locations where this doctor practices.
