Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

He spends very little time with his patients, is rude and has little compassion! I spend 99% of my visits with a fellowship medical student and after discussing any problems/concerns I may have, the fellowship will then step outside of the exam room & reenter with Dr Salzman for approximately 90 seconds & he seems to be completely annoyed and on one rare occasion he did actually sit down for a couple of minutes crossed his legs and looked down to the floor while I was speaking.
