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.

Dr. Moreano performed open reduction nasal fracture/ septoplasty on me, and end results are just what I was looking for. My nose is looking great and my breathing is even better now. The care I was given was great as well. When I came in to schedule my surgery, he made it very brief and quick. He knew exactly what I was looking for and made it happen without any confusion, or any complications. Great doctor! Very satisfied.

No way would I recommend this dr. He severed my daughter's facial nerve during ear surgery and paralyzed the left side of her face. This was 30 years ago, and she is still suffering. We learned that this wasn't the first time he did this, but we couldn't bring it up in court. He couldn't even admit that what he did was wrong. He should've located the nerve prior to surgery because it often runs an aberrant course - he didn't do this. As a result, daughter's life was significantly affected.

I wish there was a worse score than "poor". He's horrible. He severed the nerve in my sisters ear and she is permanently paralyzed on her left side of her face. He should've had his license taken from him. Thanks for ruining my sisters life. You killed her self confidence.
