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.

Very well explained went over my options expectations.

I'm very impressed with Dr. Coan. She had even eased my husband concerns about my treatment. He couldn't stop expressing his feelings about how much she was concerned about our fears and was actually hearing and answering our questions.

Dr. Coan put me completely at ease, we had a thorough discussion and she answered all of my questions. . She was friendly, compassionate, and if not for the fact that she is so popular, I would be doing surgery with her!

From the first visit with Dr. Coan until I was discharged from the hospital my experience with Dr. Coan, the anesthesiologist, the nurses and support staff was amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Dr. Coan's explanation of my upcoming thyroidectomy was thorough and was reassuring that she would take the utmost care to make sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend her if you need this kind of surgery.

What an amazing Doctor. So caring and compassionate. Her high energy and positive attitude gave me the confidence I needed to go through with the surgery I had postponed too long to have part of my thyroid removed. Dr. Coan listens to patient concerns, gives all the options, is very informative then is not pushy or judgmental about the patients decision. Dr Coan is respectful of the patients time and so caring about the patient's well being as a whole. Dr. Coan's assistant Sandra is also amazing!! I felt cared about throughout the whole process. From first appointment to post op calls I was well taken care of! Thank you to both of you.

I was lucky enough to be recommended to Dr. Coan for a partial thyroidectomy from my boss. From the first time I met Dr. Coan, I was extremely comfortable and confident in her abilities. Now I'm almost 8 months post op and am so impressed with the barely noticeable scar. I would recommend Dr. Coan to anyone- amazing bedside manner and equally amazing surgical skills. Thank you so much Dr. Coan, you've improved my life drastically!
