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.

I have been with Dr. Rael for about 5 years. She is very concerned for the entire individual and not just for the pulmonary problem (COPD) that she is working on currently with me. To me she is a Doctors Doctor. I do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. I would use 1 word to evaluate her. FANTASTIC
