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.

Excellent diagnostician
I was referred to Dr. Hottenstein by another physician about twenty years ago. In that time, he has diagnosed my daughters' and my illnesses with 100% accuracy.

I never expected to find a diagnostician like Dr. Hottenstein again after the doctor I had seen since I was six retired. He has been on-target in every diagnosis he has made for my daughters and me during the past eighteen years. For example, he diagnosed an autoimmune disease that nobody else recognized over a span of three years. Although my review is completely truthful, I'm second-guessing myself by posting. He may become too busy to see us!
