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.

200% impressed!
I saw Dr. Slam for the first time two days ago. Super-nice, highly competent and caring. She ordered me to have an MRI the following day and I was literally just home from the hospital when she called me with my results! I’ve never had such amazing service from any doctor in the past! I’m so glad I got referred to her. Totally impressed that she expedited my MRI and called me right away. I would completely recommend her and then some.

I met Dr. Slam today for the first time. I was at the office for 45 minutes before I saw her. She apologized and said she spent time talking to her patients and the couple went over. She gave me some options, one of which I chose. I explain to her that I could be pretty crappy. She explained to me that she’s very blunt. I appreciate that. I’ll be seeing her again in a couple months.

You would be wise to avoid Dr. Slam and the Central Ohio Surgical Associates team at all costs. Her advice and care plan for my mom left her with cancer making ugly advances through my mother's body and in hospice care less than 5 months after her first consultation. Choosing the right medical professional is a personal choice. I can see from this site that Dr. Slam receives high praise, but I would use caution and get a second opinion with any care suggested by this team. I tried repeatedly to contact Dr. Slam through her gatekeepers and never once was able to actually talk with her. At the very least her team has epic fails when it comes to family transparency of care, at the worst this team will leave your loved ones facing early end of life. Please protect yourself and family and seek care elsewhere.

I've seen her twice in the last few years and she was professional, polite and explained both procedures so I would understand. The 1st time I saw her she was able to remove a cyst right on the spot. But the next time, I had to be put under. Scheduling that appt was easy and the procedure went smoothly. Will be calling if I need assistance again.

I love Dr. Slam. I found out on the 5th that I needed some further testing. In 15 days I had an appointment at the Women's health center, 2 visits with Dr. Slam and the results from my 3 breast biopsies. I highly recommend Dr. Slam and her team.

This lady was awesomesauce! She's so personable and intelligent and takes her time answering all/any questions. She made me feel comfortable while I was getting anxious about having a Biopsy. And she has this wonderfully infectious laugh!
