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.

Still waiting for a call back to see how the incision can be corrected, since a student did the procedure . Although we were assured done by the doctor himself. Please ensure you ask the right questions, seems like this physician is a trainer and only preparing future doctors without regard for he patient and quality of the procedures

Dr Ryan does not have empathy toward his young patients. He was quick to remind of his Professorship at Harvard and how many surgeries he has performed or instructed. I feel he has an elitist attitude and the common folk are lucky to be in his presence. I have never been treated so poorly as a parent when asking why the the quality of my child’s procedure was not what a man of his “pedigree” , as he purports should perform . He made me feel as if it was good enough, suggesting my child’s worth
