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.

Worst experience of my life.
Has no bedside manner. Did not explain the procedure. He knew I was in pain and I was crying and he said “I don’t have time for this” and left the room. Didn’t wait for lidocaine to kick in

Did several procedures that never corrected the problem. Treated it superficially. Two fistula plugs failed. Still had bleeding five years. Nurse should stay in with female patients during examination.

Dr T saved my life with an urgent colon rectal cancer surgery last march in 2015. I didn't even know I had this until my body started shutting down. His expertise and post-op surgery instructions helped me to get thru the procedure, the 6 months of chemo, the everday living with an ostomy. now I am cancer-free. his patient gentle nature is a plus as he guides you thru some scary times. If you do as he says then your body will respond. there is no one I believe in or could recommend better
