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.

I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. He appears to be a proficient surgeon however, he failed to do the most basic follow up. Because of that I ended up having a stroke and a seizure. Even then when I called his office and asked for help they told me " they didn't do that". They said I needed to contact a Neurologist for the follow up. They would not facilitate an appointment or do anything to help the process at all. Thank God I don't have any permanent damage.

He listened,did not rush for an answer, followed thru with a solution to a very critical issue that was ignored by my original surgeon. Disappointment came when those in trusted for follow up care we're not of the caliber of Dr. M. I found myself in the position of having to return with a second complication to be treated by Dr. H. another kind, understanding doc but never getting the opportunity to say thanks.
