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.

He was very personable and nice. I had to have a near emergency gallbladder operation and he scheduled me on only 2 days notice. He was also very nice at follow up time...His father had previously operated one me with him as the second and this time he was the primary and his father was his second-- What a unique experience...He was a pioneer in laparoscopic surgery in Alabama and I would highly recommend him...

Dr Newman has been my doctor for over 10 yrs. and I am now 58 yrs. He just did a surgical procedure on me Thursday and I couldn’t have been in better hands. If you are looking for an Excellent surgeon who cares about his Patient’s Dr Newman is the one. I would high recommend Dr Newman III for any of your surgical need.
