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.

Great surgeon!
Not only did Dr. Pugh listen to me when I spoke he immediately scheduled a surgery that should have been done years ago by another doctor. He removed my gallbladder. He did an excellent job and even took the time to make sure I didn’t have any other ducts clogged. He’s excellent and i recommend him to everyone! Thank you Dr Pugh!

BEWARE: Darrell Ivan Pugh DO may have an inviting bedside manor, however is an inept Surgeon. In retrospect I learned the care I received from him was botched. In fact he performed a Nissen Fundoplication, Hiatal hernia surgery and 2 Incisional Hernia Mesh repairs in one surgery. I was later advised, by another group of surgeons that this type of surgery should have been performed in 3 different procedures. I have had 4 major surgeries in the last 10 months to repair my body, thanks to Ivan Pugh's handy work. While attending a family get together this weekend, I overheard 2 nurses discussing Dr Pugh's reputation at Salem Hospital & how he needs to be held accountable for the the poor quality of surgical procedures his patients have endured. . I joined the conversation & was advised that I am lucky to be alive. Please think twice before letting this man perform surgery on you.

This guy is a joke, damn near killed me, after him and his side kick Dr. Jonathan Pulido messed me all up, I had to go to Cleveland Clinic to get fixed right, they had to fix all their mistakes. Now I'm good as new.
