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.

This OSU practice only cares about cutting - no expertise in the important aspect of wound healing after pilonidal cyst surgery! Had 2 major surgeries within a 4 month period and my son still has a large wound that will not heal. No guidance from Dr Traugott or OSU team in terms of how to manage the disease! After negligent patient management, we changed to Nationwide Children's Hospital where they actually have a pilonidal disease clinic! Here, we have received better care and more guidance with wound management! We are so thankful we switched but wished we went to Nationwide Children's Hospital first!

Dr. Traugott is the most caring physician I have ever been to. I had a prolapse and needed surgeryT. She took time to explain everything to me and never rushed our visits. Her staff was always available when I needed them,to answer any questions that I had and always filled out the paperwork in a timely manner. Hopefully I will never need to have this type of surgery again but if I do I know that I can always count on Dr. Traugott.

Beside fixing one fistula instead of the one I came in for that was listed on the mri report she finally after 4 times healed my fistulas. Very caring and knowledgeable. Just a sweet lady that does a great job.

Dr. Traugott is an excellent surgeon. I have had two surgeries with her. She is a knowledgeable, professional, and kind physician. She takes the time to talk with me and answer all my questions. When I have called her office, her staff are friendly and ready to help.

Inexperienced, unprofessional, not familiar with current procedures. Do your own research if you plan on seeing her. Spare yourself the lies, the pain and disappointment. The nurses knew more than she did.
