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.

Saved my life!
After going to multiple doctors without answers for 5 years. He was able to get my on the path to recovering after 1 visit. He immediately knew the cause and the cure!

His arrogance is unbearable, always talks down to you. Beware, his enormous ego is very fragile. Ask a couple difficult questions and he gets upset and defensive. He would be better off doing research only, so he doesn’t interact with the public.

Did not spend but 3/4 minutes with me. made no effort to explain my serious diagnosis and basically told me to just call if I have problems. Everyone knows you can’t just call and get in, you end up making the appointment for a month later. I have 0 confidence in him and am looking for a new GI. None of my issues were addressed and I am dropping a lot of weight which he didn’t seem concerned about. I get better care from my family physician.

Does not listen to patients speaks at you not to you its like your problems does not matter to them . They think because they have a degree they know it all no matter what you say all they care about is what they can get out of your insurance company and your co pays.

He will take your money but he will give the least amount of care possible. If your diagnosis takes more than five minutes, he will simply give up.
