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.

I have been his patient for several years. Throughout my time as a patient of Dr. Tarnoff, I can admit I did not agree with some of the things he believes but even so, he is a doctor who has been in the field for quite some time and knows what he is doing. I noticed that another comment claims that Dr. Tarnoff misdiagnosed them with several things. If you don't agree with something he diagnosed you with, go for a reevaluation. He has not diagnosed me with anything that I do not agree with. A+

This waste of oxygen gave me PTSD, he put me in several mental programs because I'm apparently mentally ill and autistic, which I'm not. Avoid this garbage doctor.
