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.

Dr. Justin Rudd performed my umbilical hernia repair so deftly and efficiently it felt like I blinked and it was finished. According to my ride it took longer for them to convince me to let them stick an IV in me than it took for him to do the entire procedure. Highly recommend. Great with a knife.

I have already to my friends with Breast cancer.
I thought.. Lord he is young. He is very knowledgeable on breast cancer and colon cancer . He takes time and is patient. Looks at you and not the computer. Has examined me thoroughly each visit and asks questions. When I brought up a test I had done by another DR, he said .. I remember your pathology coming through repeated what I had done and the results correctly, let me confirm that, Went and checked and said that was correct. It was a relief for me . Not always a DR fan but he is a real Doctor compassionate, caring . and good surgeon.
