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.

Hiatal hernia repair
I use to be a workout fanatic. I hurt myself in the gym and had horrible reflux. He performed a half wrap hernia repair and it lasted 10 years. I had no reflux or pain this whole time. Recently I picked something up I thought was light. I now have pain and reflux. I will be reaching out to him soon. He and his team are too amazing not too get checked.

Great Surgeon and Doctor
I had an awful experience with my first surgeon. After months dealing with him I called around and found Dr. Trad. I was able to meet with Dr. Trad the next week and schedule surgery a month later. He was great to deal with. Easy to understand, actually listened to me, and unlike my first surgeon he actually seemed like he wanted to help me. I waited way to long to get surgery because of my first surgeon and wish I found Dr. Trad sooner. Thank you Dr. Trad
