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.

Dr. Kerpen has been my MD for almost 40 years. I am an RN, and another RN recommended him. We know who the great doctors are and Dr. Kerpen is, hands down, the BEST: kind, smart, thorough, available and knows well which specialists to refer you to when needed. Although I have moved out of the NHP area to Manhattan (where all the best doctors are reputed to be) I continue to see the one I trust most, Dr. Howard Kerpen.
