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. Dempah saved my life in 2019. I had an intestinal blockage and had gone into heart failure and kidney failure. He removed the blockage and I am now doing well. He is also a nice man.

Great Doctor, Surgeon and Man
Great Doctor, Surgeon and Man. I have to thank God Dr. Dempah was the surgeon who operated on my wife. He talked me through every step. He is a normal person who happens to be a skilled surgeon. My wife was so sick that one surgeon refused to operate on her. Dr Dempah, so I was told, would take on cases other Drs would not. He explained everything in such a way as I understood him. He was compassionate and caring. He is the kind of guy you could be friends with. Could not be more pleased with what he has done for us.

Great Dr and Surgeon. But definitely not respectful of his patients appt times. It's absolutely ridiculous for people to sit with drain tubes in the waiting room for 4 or more hours some even up to 7-8 hours past their appt time. Definitely many other Drs to choose from to not have to wait on this one!!
