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.

Rude
I went to this doctor twice, I am having eye surgery and need to go to a primary doctor for a check up. The first time I went he had me wait 2 hours to see him, the 2nd time I waited an hour and 30 minutes. He is very old, which I would not have a problem with if he was not so slow. And it is not like he is doing anything that would require him to keep the patients waiting for a long time. He is just slow, when he is talking to you he talks very slow and after a couple of minutes he will stop talking and look down like he is going to sleep. The 2nd time I went he told me I had to get a blood work, chest and back X-rays. I stated why do I need all of that for cataract surgery, I understand the blood work but the X-rays made no sense. He was very rude and told me why am I worried about it, I would not have to pay anything. Implying I did not have any money, I stated that is not the problem he did not tell me I needed all those things done on my first visit. Stay away.
