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.

Professional, courteous, and thorough.

I've been trying to get his office staff to deal with an invoice for over six months. All I need is a letter of medical necessity so insurance will pay it. This is a standard form letter they should be able to send out in their sleep. Instead I've been after them for over six months and the bill has gone to a credit collections agency. Incredible incompetence from the staff but the doctor himself is quite good.

We went for a first time consultation and were treated horrendously - left to sit for one hour - then moved to an office where we waited - again , then asked to be interviewed by an assistant prior to meeting the doctor then were told the doctor wasn't able to see us after all that... this is a TERRIBLE office - save yourself the trouble - find another = this is a big city with many great doctors - this is NOT one of them
