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.

Dr. Shim is wonderful - knowledgable, adaptable, friendly, remembers me, understands my needs and personal approach. I could not ask for anyone better. I am so grateful for this long term relationship. I saw a new technician for the PFT, and she was friendly, helpful, quick, made me confortable - very good.
