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.

Not warm & friendly with kids
If you’re looking for a doctor that is good with babies and kids, this is not the one. Every patient is a number $$. She shows no compassion and barely ever interacts with the child to make them feel comfortable. She guilts parents constantly, and gives unrealistic advice expectations. Do not recommend.

Dr. Longo is just the kindest doctor. She took her time with my daughter, explained the procedure, gave us instructions. Took so much time with our baby and made me feel so comfortable. Thank you Dr. Longo. You are unbelievable!

Dr. Wendy is patient, friendly and really listens to what you tell her. My daughter had a condition that was easy to misdiagnose. Dr. Wendy really listened to us and didn't rush to judgement. As a result, Dr. Wendy sent us to the right specialists and within months my daughter is not only symptom free, but it seems she no longer has the condition that had become life altering. I had first gone to another "professional" who quickly (within minutes and no tests performed) misdiagnosed my child and wanted me to make decisions that would have had truly devastating effects. I am ever thankful that I trusted my gut and took her to Dr. Wendy who quickly got to the bottom of the real issue.

Dr. Wendy is our favorite doctor in the practice. My children love her and so do I. She is kind, thorough, makes us all feel comfortable and really listens to her patients and their families. Twice in my 3 year old's life Dr. Wendy caught things that most doctors would have missed and we were able to get my daughter the help she needed as quickly as possible. Dr. Wendy is a wonderful doctor.
