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.

He listens. He explains. He's very knowledgeable.
Dr. Drabick was very honest about my circumstances, which was really affirming. He cared about what was going on with me and validated my experiences. He is always happy to address my concerns and takes time to listen. I trust him with my care.

I can not say enough about the care I received from Dr.Drabick. I had advanced melanoma and my treatment was quite challenging. He was always professional and very caring. He took his time and provided direct answers to me and my family. He also gave me copies of my labs/scans each visit after reviewing them with me. I have never had such a compassionate physician prior to seeing him. He's the absolute best. I would not go anywhere else for treatment . His staff is also excellent .

I would not normally write a negative review this for the public to see. However, the level of quality which a dear friend received on his cancer journey through Dr. Drabick sickens me beyond belief. Dr. Drabick provided false hope for a cancer patient and his family. Time was spent on regimens that werenot necessary. He spaced out testing and rechecks for many weeks on end. Thus causing a rapid decline without being checked for alternate treatment. I would not send my worst enemy to him.
