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.

Listens well and explains in a way that non-medical folks (like me) can easily understand.

A year ago, I needed a new gastroenterologist. I checked out Dr. Pickle's reviews, and I visited him and was impressed from the first time I sat down and talked with him. Ever since that first visit, I have had a few procedures and a few appointments at their office in Allentown. He and his staff, PAs, nurses and front office staff are unbelievably fantastic. Very accommodating, very responsive and they always get back to you in a timely manner. They always treat me with kindness and compassion.

I had an appointment with Dr. Pickel this morning after getting over a bout with acute diverticulis and was hospitalized for 3 days. I found him to be easy to talk to, professional, and explained the disease and diet and gave me a lot of advice. I felt very comfortable talking with him and will continue to see him for F/U colonoscopies. He's a very knowledgeable gastroenterologist.
