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 have never been so frustrated with a doctor. I was informed of some lab results, a whole month after I had gone in. But I had to be the one to call her, and have her tell me they were not good. A good doctor should call you as soon as she finds out. Not wait for you to see if there is anything wrong. That is their job. I now live in a different state, and she told me she could not explain over the phone. I take a half day off work, spend my time and money on gas, only to get there and wait for two hours. She told me everything I already read on Google. After ten minutes of finally getting my time, she blew me off by saying she had other patients waiting so she could not talk to me for much longer. I wasted time and money when she could have told me over the phone, saving me three days of high anxiety. The incompetency and irresponsibility of withholding patient information is unacceptable when it affects their health.

Very professional and personal doctor. Have been seeing her with my two sons for years. Have always helped with any problems we've had no matter how last minute we see her.

I do not recommend this doctor. My experience with her makes me believe she is incompetent. I asked her a question regarding a very common skin condition, she took out a medical dictionary to describe it to me. Additionally, she misdiagnosed lab results, leading me to believe I had a certain disease until a specialist corrected her mistake. I asked her for a recommendation of a specialist, she told me to Google it. Her lack in effort makes her a poor PCP to trust.
