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.

Fantastic doctor
He was fantastic. Not one complaint from me. He did my carotid artery surgery in Jan 2023. So glad i chose him.

All my research and looked like this was the best Dr. for the Job! and Dr Brett Almond and staff exceeded my expectations. I had over 80% blockage in my right Carotid Artery. Had surgery yesterday 12-30-2021. All went great, he got it all out and told my wife it was hard and took a while. I'm home now the next day feel great and relieved. My wife and I will celebrate New Year's and also would like to formally Thank Dr. Almond and all the Nurses and staff and wish them all a Great and Happy New Year! Really Nice Professional folks at St. Anthony's Hospital. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

Dr Almond was alright but as far as office and setting appointments it is terrible and also they try and get every cent from you that they can with as many appointments as possible. I don't have much money and told then this and they tried to set me up with 2 separate tests on different days so they could charge me with 2 office visits. The same person was even giving the tests. They told me I can not have the 2 test at same time because insurance doesn't cover it. Well I got off of phone with them and called my insurance company and just like I thought it was not true . I am o longer going to go to them. Not going to an office who just want money and doesn't have any care for the people they see. STAY AWAY

Second time I've been referred to Bay Surgical, both times same experience. Staff is rude, medical assistants don't have any medical knowledge- not even how to take a bp properly. Waited an hour and a half past appointment time and never saw the provider so I walked out. Didn't reschedule since the office staff said "that's just how it is - you're going to wait and wait each and every appointment regardless". Stay away if you have any reasonable expectations.

Staff at Bay Surgical Specialists is friendly and nice, but he was condescending and not very helpful. Spent 5 minutes with me. Will go elsewhere.

Dr. Almond took care of my father for his diabetes related vascular disease. He's an excellent surgeon and good with his patients two qualities you don't usually find together in a surgeon. We were very pleased.

Dr. Almond is an amazing doctor. He does not sugar-coat his diagnosis which helped in making the right decisions for my husbands healing/health. Dr. Almond came highly recommended by my husbands cardiologist...now we highly recommend Dr. Almond.
