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.

Very satisfied with the care and surgical interventions performed by Dr Healy. My husband has had 2 failed fistulas and 2 infected grafts all four performed by another surgeon. Dr. Healy was able to perform surgery for another fistula in the late fall and it has been successful. He was straight forward about the difficulties of the procedure but felt that it was possible.. We saw him at an AHN office in Erie, PA.

Very poor communication. Very poor coordination in his hospital network. Vague answers to my wife's condition. Very long time to return phone calls and emails. Allegheny general is a mess.
