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.

Very good thoracic surgeon
Very good,. He is doing annual check ups after thymectomy in 2023. The surgery was highly successful and he is focused on the annual check ups to verify no recurrence of cancer. Extremely knowledgeable and competent as a surgeon.
