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.

Dr. Light was my mother's surgeon through two major surgeries and is the most phenomenal physician I have ever encountered. Not only is she incredibly skilled in her practice; but she also exudes warmth, genuine concern, and thoroughly answers questions. I credit her with adding many years to my mom's life due to her wise decision-making and the follow-up of care that Mom received. Mom felt so valued each time we met with Dr. Light and was extremely confident in any advice or direction she was given by this physician. Dr. Light also recognized and appreciated my mom's sense of humor and vibrant personality, and she and her entire staff joined in and made each visit a wonderful experience. After moving my Mom 130 miles away, I continued to bring her to see Dr. Light for the five-year follow-up appointments instead of changing to a local physician. It was well worth the trip! I cannot say enough good things about this physician. She is a gifted surgeon and an amazing human being!

I was facing the possibility of gallbladder surgery. After getting a referral from my nurse practitioner, I began checking with others in the community who had similar procedures. Dr. Light came highly recommended by her patients and the medical community. After my first appointment, I too was completely satisfied with her medical knowledge and skills, and her extremely personable demeanor!
