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.

Nurse Vicky
The doctor was was a nice person to deal with. But if you have to deal with the nurse Vicky with critical Situations You're going to have a person that's very nasty does not have a bedside matter. I do not recommend this office for surgery mark my words if you do you will see the attitude on that nurse.

Request another doctor!! My mother had serious complications after he removed her gallbladder. She nearly died. She had a bile leak, immediately after surgery, that was filling her abdomen causing excruciating pain. They sent her home like that. 10 days later, she went to the ER and her kidneys were shutting down. She is now back in the hospital and relies on an external drain tube to keep her from bile poisoning. They performed an ERCP a few days ago and discovered some clips had “fallen off”. They put a stint during the ERCP but she is still leaking bile. This ordeal has left my mother in terrible pain and in serious mental anguish. This has all been a horrible experience for our family. God bless.

My mom's upper colon was perforated during a sigmoid resectioning done by Norkiewicz. 10 days later, she had to have emergency surgery. After 3 weeks in ICU, she died.
