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 moved to South Jersey and was not able to stay with her. But she is the rheumatologist I ever had in over 30 yrs of having Lupus. She really cares about her patients

Very bad
My relative almost died because she and her team anchored their diagnosis on scleroderma (she is a “scleroderma expert” reportedly), and discharged my relative home without any further work-up or treatment. My relative was not even given any medications on discharge and was asked to follow-up outpatient. This was despite multiple concerns raised by us about the patient’s condition. My relative then got critically sick a few hours later, and had to be admitted to the critical care unit of another hospital to save her life and for further care. I hope she is kinder and more receptive when she sees other patients. I shall never go to or refer anyone to this hospital for rheumatology care again. Unfortunately, 1 is the lowest score this system allows me to give her, otherwise would have rated her even lower

My RA presented in an unusual way and Dr. Hsu diagnosed it, giving me physical and psychological relief. She and her staff, including the various residents and students are thorough both in care and in providing explanations.
