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 would recommend Dr. D'Costa because of his gentleness, his obvious knowledge of what he is doing, and the time he takes to listen to your concerns. He explained everything he was doing. He showed me on my X-ray exactly what was causing the problem (I have a fallen bone in my foot and a bone spur.) Together we are going to work on a plan to get me pain free and hopefully stop further damage. He is not pushy, but sure of himself. I felt I was in good, competent hands.
