This is a for-profit site full of fake, positive doctor reviews written by doctors offices and the like to boost their sales/ clientele. Positive reviews are posted directly after negative reviews and tend to contradict word for word verbatim what was posted in a negative review. Doctors can create their own profiles for free and those that are unethical can lie about their credentials. There are no checks and balances verifying that the information is accurate. Stay away. Check credentials, complaints, and malpractice information with your local court, the state medical board, state dept. of health, and BBB.

It baffles me that negative, honest reviews (in the absence of profanity) are often not posted to the site or need to be submitted multiple times before receiving approval, yet, positive doctor reviews are posted immediately preceding a negative review. Sounds to me that many doctors are paying off this company to offset negative reviews by replacing them with positive reviews as a form of advertisement. Many people have filed complaints with the BBB. If you are searching for information regarding doctors' credentials refer to your local State Dept. of Health, state medical board, local courts (to see if there are any malpractice complaints against a doctor), Medicare, or the NIH for information regarding your medical condition or procedure. This site cannot be trusted I found the positive reviews to be fake and the negative reviews are more reliable. Not all doctors have five star reviews. I have been to plenty doctors and most that I have been to would get three stars or less if I am evaluating both them and their office staff.
