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.

Terrible
Worst doctor I’ve ever seen in my life. Took my mother for stomach pains. He asked a few questions then said “What do you want me to do? You’ve had this for a while and there is nothing I can do.” Went to another GI in Clinton who was amazing and mother is doing fine. Wish I could give zero stars.

Amazing experience
Dr. Vernon and his staff are very professional and caring. I had to have two procedures done and from the consultation to the staff at the procedure center were nothing short of fantastic. I would recommend anyone that needs his services to not hesitate to reach out to them. Thank everyone for a job well done. Denise Kolman

GREAT
Dr Vernon is Great.A very good doctor,with a genuine concern for patients, very friendly and patient and funny at times,to relieve tension . However,the staff at the Dunn,NC office seem to be preoccupied with other matters. Very unprofessional. If you call,you are directed by menu to speak to a nurse,which only leads to another menu where you can leave a message and wait 24 hours for a reply. That is a good way to tarnish a sterling reputation. The privacy policy may violate HIPPA rules,but that is the only way one can send this message. I do not consent to provide my medical information to anyone without my prior signed permission,nor do I consent to being tracked or followed by outside agencies for advertising purposes (spam) By accepting this review you agree to these terms and conditions

Raised his voice to me
Dr. Vernon while I was explaining something raised hos voice and said "JUST TELL ME", didn't care about context or what I was saying. Called in a RX without ever going over my results. I got the results and NOTHING was addressed to me about them. NO FOLLOW up or cares.

Excellent in Every Way!
My experience was positive from the initial office visit until I was taken to my friend's car by wheelchair. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and professional in every way. I changed to Dr. Vernon from my previous place when I saw how well my 82 year old Mother got along prior to, during and after her colonoscopy with Dr. Vernon. I had my second with him this past Tuesday, he discovered two polyps and took care of them during the procedure. I recovered so quickly and felt fine throughout the day. Dr. Vernon and his staff are caring, highly trained individuals who make the experience the easiest that it could possibly be. Highly Recommend. A+++

Dr Vernon is top notch. He spends time with you and is very caring and professional. He explains the procedures and the health issues. I've had both GI series and additional testing ran by him. His staff is also friendly and caring. I was lucky that he was the first GI Dr I was referred to and I would never want to see anyone else. I wish all Doctors were as wonderful as he is.

Dr. Vernon ha a very caring nature. He does NOT rush through his appointments, he LISTENS to his patient. In my experience what makes him stand apart from the rest is once you've told him your symptoms/issues his first step is NEVER to write you a prescription. He ALWAYS takes the necessary steps to research what the issue might be. Thank you Dr. Vernon!

Dr. Vernon and his staff are pleasant and courteous. Medical staff in prior to surgery were quick with their pre-op and Dr. Vernon was friendly and professional. After the procedure, he visited to review results. I am completely satisfied with the experience. My procedure was performed at the F-V location.
