Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He is an amazing doctor. If I had not found him, I would have had to have a serious procure that would have changed my lifestyle. Dr. Ribeirto successfully performed many scope procedures on me that his colleagues were not able to do. He is also good at explaining what the issue is and what options you have to proceed. I am so grateful to have him as my doctor!

Dr. Ribeiro truly one on the best Gastroenterologist in South Florida! He is meticulous and highly effective. In addition to that he REALLY cares about the well being of all his patients. And don't waste your time looking for anyone else when it come to advanced GI procedures because this man is who all other GI doctors in the area will recommend you see if they can't do it. And if Dr. Ribeiro can't do it, then you more than likely will need surgery. Trust me he is that good!!!
