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.

I highly recommend Dr. Lengyel
He is through without feeling rushed. He is compassionate and listens to everything I have to say. He never gives up. He has an excellent nursing staff. He is at the forefront of his specialty. He is not afraid to consult with other doctors.

Dr Lengyel is the example of what a Surgeon and Doctor should be - especially a doctor who is treating cancer. He is very thorough, takes his time to make sure you understand what is going on and goes above and beyond to ensure you have the best care. And it is not just him, but his staff. And to say he is humble and does not boast about his accomplishments is an understatement. Dr Lengyel and his staff were the best gift and the brightest light we were given during the darkest of times.

Dr. Lengyel is AMAZING! Being told you have cancer, is already hard, but when you have a doctor as caring as Dr. Lengyel it does put you at ease. He is extremely intelligent,meticulous, and you can really tell her care's about you as a patient. I would email him, and he would always respond within a few hours, which is rare of doctors! If it weren't for trusting him, I am not sure what kind of situation I would be in today. I highly recommend Dr. Lengyel

Amazing physician & crew. He treated me as a patient not as a disease. He saved my life in 2010. Without his attentiveness, intuition, knowledge, & quick action, it is very likely I may not be here today or the outcome would not have been as good as it was.
