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.

Gallbladder Removal
I had an emergency surgery. I had to have my gallbladder removed a few weeks ago. I had developed painful galstones from my weight loss surgery a year ago. My galstone was inflamed. He was appointed my surgeon. I had such terrible anxiety and it turned out, I was not in surgery for to long, woke up maybe a hour and a half later. When I met him he every good communication skills told me every step of the way what to expect. Answering all my questions And he checked on me after my surgery making sure I was okay before I got discharged. He took my pain away if anything. Him and his team are wonderful. Thank you

I'm a retired RN... I was scheduled and admitted for the first surgery of the day. The surgery time came and went, and the doctor didn't even show up. I turned my hospital identification band in and went home very angry after spending the preceding week in pain and dealing with all the grief of hospital admitting. This incident is a black eye and ethics violation both for the hospital and the surgeon.
