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. Misdiagnosed. Didn’t listen to anything. I had to twist his arm for an ultrasound which told him nothing. Then he was out for a week so waited a week in pain to hear a wrong diagnosis. Novant itself is a complete mess. Literally called me 4 times for appointments that already happened. Switched healthcare providers. Strongly suggest avoiding at all costs. He also said it would go away on its own… after being there for 2 months.

He did my gastric bypass. He was highly recommended by nurses as I searched for a doctor. He was very matter of fact and firm with me about this surgery. I needed that type of surgeon. But he was very caring too. I would choose him again for any other surgeries (which I hope I never need,of course).
