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.

Informative and Detailed
I went in for a consultation for a hand injury that I had and was nervous and full of concerns and questions but Dr. Dagum and his staff put my mind at ease from the time I walked in til I left. My nervousness was gone and all my questions was answered. I knew what to expect and was told all the pros and cons. My husband and I felt a sense of calm and we definitely needed that. I highly recommend Dr. Dagum…He put me back together again!!

Cleft Lip and Palate repair
I adore this man and cannot say enough about his professionalism, his expertise, and his soft and kind bedside manner. We met with him shortly after I discovered my son would be born with a cleft lip and possibly a cleft palate. My husband and I were so impressed with him (which is no easy feat). He performed a cleft lip repair when my son was about 6 months old, then the palate repair when he was about a year. He is so supportive, kind, and knows what he is doing. I cannot recommend him highly enough. My son still sees him yearly to check on his progress, as he will need future (more minor) surgeries.

Dr. Dagum saved my life in 2001. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer and had a 1 in 5 chance of making it 5 years. Dr. Dagum was brilliant! He was an integral part of my cancer team which performed a radical mastectomy on me as well as chemo and daily radiation treatments, among the reconstruction and many skin graphs. Dr. Dagum was always a true professional and a great leader in his field. 15 years later I am still boasting about him to anyone who will listen! Thank you Dr. Dagum!
