Patient reviews
Dishonest doctor
"This doctor and the Family Practice Center only cares about milking the patient in whatever way they can, and charges unreasonable fees for even the most basic checkup. When you call the office for explanation, they will throw random and different answers at you each time. They promised to get back to you, but they never do. They would lie about the reasons for the charge using reasons that can easily be nullified if you ask for documented evidence. If they cannot even uphold basic honesty, why would anyone trust their medical judgement?"
This doctor is excellent.
"He is extremely intelligent, thorough, and friendly. He always considers my overall health, not just the aspect for which you are seeing him. This shows that he is concerned about your health and is willing to take the time to talk to you about it. This doctor is excellent."
