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 Cugini has great bedside manners. He was very thorough with his explanations of the surgery. I would definitely recommend him.

Dr Cugini spent as much time with you as needed. He explained everything then answered all questions and addressed all concerns. Surgery went exceptionally well. Highly recommend. Not that this really matters but he also has great bedside manner.

My husband had previous hernia surgery three years ago with Dr. Cugini, there was no hesitation to choose him as his surgeon once again, when he required the opposite side to be done. He highly recommends Dr. Cugini not only as a great surgeon but his true compassion and understanding he gives all of his patients and the reassurance he gives to their families.
