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.

Terrible place, terrible doctor.
I had an appointment with this doctor to check my abdominal hernia. They couldn't do anything because the equipment was damaged. Even so, they charged me and nevertheless wrote a false report, of things they never did to me. They never checked my abdomen and the report talked about how they checked my abdomen and other things. This place is a joke.

What a terrible experience! Scheduled for surgery on 9/20/21. I had some medical and billing questions. I called a week prior to surgery no one answers but received a message that someone would return my call with in 24 hours, No call . I call back a day later and spoke to someone. She couldn't help but said someone would call me back, call never came. Called again next day same thing but I was told by the receptionist not a nurse that the Dr. was sick and were not sure if he would be doing surgery on the 20th. The Hospital called to set up surgery but said I needed a covid test because I might need to spend the night. I was never told about this and no one ever called me to explain why. Finally the day before surgery I received a call from the office saying the surgery was on but needed a covid test. Went to Quest waited an hour when I get in test was never ordered. Quite frankly I am afraid to have a Dr. with such an incompetent staff touch me. I canceled surgery.

Can't say enough good things about Dr. Bonadies and his staff. Had to be seen for an emergency situation and they were great about getting me in and also for scheduling the follow-up care. Would highly recommend the practice.

I just can't say enough nice things about Dr. Bonadies. He is an excellent surgeon, but most of all he has the best bed side manner. He took the time to listen to me, and took his time deciding what would be the best course of action. My children also met him and liked him. I'm so grateful he was recommended to me.

He is a consummate professional with a wealth of experience in the Industry. I recently had a hernia surgery performed by Dr Bonadies and I am right on schedule for recovery. I am 2 weeks post surgery at this point and everything is going according to plan.
