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.

Saved my life!
Severe pain lower right abdomen. Constantly turned away because no high white blood cells. The 5th to AH Hospital, Dr Loren said there’s something going on in there, let’s take a look. I had a large amount of small intestines removed. When I finally went home, the incision inside burst. I was dying and didn’t know it. Saw Dr Loren who immediately opened me up and flooded my insides. Then into surgery where I awoke with so large scars and an ileostomy. Developed surgical hernia, then gallbladder removed and finally ileostomy reversed. I no longer live in the area. I would definitely go to Dr Loren again. I have some things going on and only trust him. I am looking at possibly getting a LLQ intestines removal and receiving a colostomy. At the same time I have a hiatal hernia. Ulceration biopsies show no cancer. Lots of ulcers in large intestines, esophagus, stomach and throat. Dr Loren has excellent bedside manners. I don't trust my current GI surgeon. He bad mouthed other doctors.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Loren?
I was having serve abdominal pain for several months on and off no one was able to figure out what was wrong with me. I was recommended by my pediatrician to go see him. As soon as I went into his office and explained to him, the pain I was having he knew he needed to remove my appendix. After having it removed, I never had the pains again. My appendix was twisted causing it never to rupture. I saw Doctor Loren two years after that for him to perform another surgery on me. I noticed a lump in my left breast he did a biopsy and noticed it was a benign and he removed it. After both surgeries he contacted me to make sure I was recovery well. He is the most amazing doctor I have work with and explained all of the procedures to me in detail.
