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.

Please ask who is reviewing his practice
Experience was pretty bad. The Dr. did not review labs, despite the fact that he requests many of them. It took him less than 5 minutes to recommend surgery for a benign lump. And then, he was so callous that he did not even explain how he was going to do the surgery. I think that his protocol is more of a bluff than real treatment. Please do not believe in his promising advertising. For him all the labs are negative, and he controls the pathologist, radiologist, and surgery. Who supervises this guy who believes he is better than god, or god??He needs to be reviewed by the California Medical Board.

I've tried to write this for 3 years, & I cry every time. He deserves a million star not five..?????????? Dr. Holmes saved my life not once but countless times. I showed up with a nasty infection with no end in sight. He did one surgery & I did well but the infection came back time after time. He finally made the hard decision to remove my nipple & I agreed. That last surgery saved my life. No more infections, no more surgeries. I could say thank you every day of my life & it wouldn't be enough. I would kid around with him " I'm like that mean step child that will never go away." ??& I did. Thank you Dr. Holmes?? You will forever have a place in my heart????? ALBA your a SUPER STAR?? Thank you for everything !!

Dr Dennis Holmes is excellent and I would highly recommend him. I interviewed several doctors and I liked his demeanor and approach. He was available to answer all my questions. Follow up was very good. I worked with another doctor he recommended and she was also excellent. I think if you are having breast surgery you will definitely want to see him. Review his videos and the leading edge medical devices he’s involved with.

Dr. Holmes is an excellent doctor. Calm and patient. He explains everything to you and doesn't rush you out of his office. You can't go wrong with him. He's extremely knowledgeable in his field.
