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 the most amazing surgeon I’ve ever met. I never had such good care as I experienced with him and the hospital. Thank you Dr Llijian you will be thought of everyday of my life. Once again thank you!

Dr Klijian is arguably one if not the best surgeon on his area of expertise, he operated on my two lungs and removed cancerous tumors when other Dr's adviced me the tumors where inoperable.(2 operations)Dr Klijian has a human touch second to none and really looks up for the patients welfare. Dr kalijian visit the patient every day in the hospital's bed, and makes sure the staff is fallowing his instructions to the tee in regards of One's care. I belive he deserves the maximum rating
