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.

Excellent experience. Professional, focused and courteous care. Outstanding team.

Froedtert, Dr. Evans and every staff member and employee definitely saved my life, made challenges bearable, and helped me back to wellness through difficulties on the long road to recovery. Well done! You are extremely helpful, professional, caring and dedicated. As a patient, I was kept informed, listened to and partnered with all along the way. Queries were answered with kindness and prompt responses online, by telephone or in person whether asked by me or my husband.I am so glad Froedtert and Dr. Evans were so highly recommended and we came here for a second opinion on a treatment regimen after just completing 8 weeks of 3-day chemotherapy in Illinois. It became crystal clear within 20 minutes of my first encounter with Dr. Evans and his team that Froedtert was exactly where I belonged on this pancreatic cancer journey!

Loved the fact Dr. Evans records his visit notes while in the room with me. Is a great review of what transpired. Reminded me of a couple questions I forgot to ask. Though I did have a list of questions with me. And Dr. Evans patiently answered and discussed each one so I easily understood the facts and the processes of the surgeries.

Surgery of the midsection of Pancreas in 2015
I first met Dr. Evans after my second surgery at UW Madison for removal of mRCC lesion in the lower lobe of Left lung in 2008 under advise of a doctor friend. He removed mid section of pancreas in 2015. He spends enough time to discuss the issues and takes decision. I had no problem of discussing issues related to the my medical problems. A very nice person to talk to get advice. I continued monitoring through scans until I moved to Phoenix on retirement in 2018. I am undergoing treatment at the Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center and I am asked by doctors to take second opinion with Dr. Evan for a potential surgery of remnant tissue post left nephrectomy in 2006 that has grown since to 6.5cm covering Pancreatic tail, colon, and Spleen.

THE BEST OF THE BEST
When most surgeons indicated my husband's tumor was inoperable (too much vascular involvement), Dr. Evans stepped up and successfully removed a pancreatic tumor and performed vascular reconstruction. In addition, he was accessible and concerned about the long-term health of my husband. Dr. Evans is literally a life-saver...and in a class by himself.
