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 Colorectal Surgeon
Dr Quinteros deserves all 5 of these stars. He quickly confirmed my condition in our initial visit and started a treatment plan which was completed with outpatient surgery. He is kind and professional. I would highly recommend him and his staff to anyone experience colorectal issues.

Fistula Surgery
Dr. Quinteros helped me with a fistula issue that was a result of a perianal abscess. His clarity and directness made me feel confident in him as a surgeon, and I felt comfortable asking him any questions I had. I’ve had a fistula in the past and my recovery from this procedure was quick and virtually painless. He did great work and I’d recommend him to anyone.

Outstanding care and procedure.
I would highly recommend Dr Quinteros and staff. My surgical procedure benefits and risks were clearly explained and my post op care instructions were clear and easy to follow. Post op was painful but that has been explained to me and I was given excellent pain management advice and tools. I’m glad I had the procedure done and expect an excellent outcome.

Would highly recommend
I dealt with a chronic anal fissure and at a young age, as well as being female, he made sure to go over all of my concerns. He was very knowledgeable about different treatment options and surgery was quick, easy, and did not take long to recover. I am doing so much better now with zero pain starting after 5 days! I would highly recommend him to anyone and his staff were super sweet and welcoming!

Best PITA I’ve ever dealt with!
Obviously we know why we go to see Dr. Quinteros. I was suffering from an unknown cause of extreme pain in my rectum. it was so painful that he couldn’t even do a traditional exam. I have been to multiple doctors about this issue. so yet again I went under anesthesia for him to do the exam and he managed to fix both a fistula and fissure that were causing extreme pain! he’s absolutely the most professional and thoughtful doctor. I’ve dealt with in quite some time and his staff is absolutely amazing. Good communication, thorough, and supportive through the entire process!!

I was treated professionally, Dr. Quinteros took time to answer questions. Didn't minimize the potential pain or discomfort that would occur after surgery.

My hope in a hopeless situation!
Hands down the best doctor to work with. He’s very personable, friendly, funny, handsome and thoroughly explains everything that was happening in my body but a way I could understand it. After having my problem go misdiagnosed 3 times - Dr. Quinteros’ confidence in helping me and keeping me optimistic about it all made this horrible experience good. I had surgeries that sounded like they were gonna be painful and he somehow did everything perfect and left me with little to no pain. I had an unmanageable case for almost a year and I’m so grateful he brought me back to normal. If I ever have any issues relating to this, he will be my first call. Nothing but a great Doctor and great team backing him up. Thank you everything Doctor!! ??

Dr Quinteros is the Michael Jordan of surgeons - I can't speak highly enough about his skills. He made every step of the process so much easier than I could have hoped for - and I'm alive and well today as a result. Thank you, Dr Quinteros!

Excellent. I experienced absolutely no discomfort after surgery. Didn’t even need pain medication. It takes a great surgeon and a tremendous amount of skill to perform an invasive procedure and cause no discomfort. I am very thankful to Dr. Quinteros. I highly recommend him.

Dr Quinteros was absolutely amazing. I have diverticulitis for many years and he successfully performed a surgery to finally relieve me of my symptoms. Dr Quinteros is compassionate, and professional. He did an excellent job explaining the procedure and I felt 100 percent comfortable with him operating on me. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends and family.

Professional Informative Thorough Friendly. There were no problems with my appointment. The staff was cordial as well. He put me at ease when completely explaining the procedure and listened to any concerns I had. My follow up was equally good. At the time of the surgery, he went through the processes again, answered all my questions and again put me at ease. I am 6 weeks post op now. My primary Dr referred me to him.

My experience with Dr. Quinteros was absolutely incredible. I was diagnosed with Diverticulitis at 26 and managed to control it fairly well with a few flare ups up until May 2020. I was connected with Dr. Quinteros and his partners/team while I was admitted at OSF Little Company of Mary. What an absolute group of professionals. I can't begin to thank this group of doctors enough. I owe them my quality of life and so much more. What started as one of the most terrifying experiences turned into something manageable, then conquerable once I trusted them to help me make the best decisions for my health. I am forever grateful to them. If you ever find yourself in the position to have to have any work done, gastrointestinal, Dr. Quinteros and his team/partners are the people you want on your side. Compassionate, courteous, thorough, and absolutely professional. 20/10, would definitely have surgery again with this group. Thank you. Went over the word count. Full review on Google. Thx Doc.

I had a great initial appointment with the doctor, very friendly & thorough. But went back for my follow-up appointment and office was closed, tried calling when the outgoing voicemail said they were open, left a message and as of a week later still haven't heard back. I was willing to overlook having to wait for +20 minutes after my initial appointment to see anyone, but this treatment sucks. Really expect more from a surgeon and his office.
