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.

Absolutely the best!
My 92 year old mother had a very fast growing squamous cell tumor on her chin. It was doubling every 10 days. Dr Pessa was absolutely the best. He was so attentive with her and so thorough in preparing to remove the tumor. He worked with experts from Mayo the U of Texas to prepare for the removal. He indicated that due to age and placement of the tumor it was one of the most difficult cases he had. He did a wonderful job. We can’t speak highly enough. One of the best docs we ever works with. His bedside manor is impeccable!

I FIRST VISITED DR PESSA IN 2002 IN ABILENE. DR. PESSA DID A FACELIFT IN 2003 AND THAT CHANGED MY LIFE! IN 2007 DR PESSA DID A MINI-FACELIFT & NOW I AM 78 AND PEOPLE CANNOT BELIEVE I AM THAT AGE. DR PESSA IS THE MOST COMPASSIONATE & GENUINE OF ALL THE PHYSICIANS I HAVE KNOWN. I CANNOT TAKE ANY CREDIT FOR WHAT I'VE HAD DONE, DR. PESSA IS EXCELLENT & METICULOUS! THANK YOU DR. PESSA, I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU!
