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.

The Best Surgeon!
Dr Babicky is the most wonderful person and Doctor. I loved how she spends time explaining the surgery in terms a layman can understand. She’s very personable, knowledgeable and a true delight!

Dr. Babicky is a joy to work with...and needing surgery is not joyful! Dr. B made everything better. Her lovely bedside manner is matched only by her excellent surgical skills. Before and after care were very comforting. I trusted her with my life and would do so again in a heart beat. Highest of recommendations.

So knowledgeable and thorough.
I came to Dr Babicky with possible cancerous mass in my gallbladder. I thoroughly trusted her decision from the moment she started the discussion. Decision was to inspect stomach lining for potential cancer, remove gallbladder, test it while I was under and proceed accordingly. Luckily everything was benign but she approached everything with the assumption and causion in case it cancerous.Highly recommend Dr Babicky.

Fabulous Doctor
Dr Babicky spent time with my husband and I and answered all our questions. She is compassionate and very understanding. Having cancer is scary but knowing you have a good surgeon on your side means the world. What we loved about her is that she really listens and engages. We cannot recommend her enough!

If I could give a zero, I would. She let my spouse go weeks after diagnosis (cancer) without a treatment plan. Her and her assistant will delinquent with communication and follow through, which included scheduled appointments and voicemail messages. This also included not communicating with other medical personnel on my spouse’s medical team. “I’ll call you on ___”, meant never. Their disregard and lack of empathy were the worst we’ve encountered from ANY medical professional. Unprofessional is the easiest way to describe them and feeling hopeless is the hardest, but both are accurate.

Excellent surgeon and compassionate person
I always know I’m in safe hands with Dr. Babicky and her team. She has treated me over the last few years and always goes above and beyond what I would expect of a doctor. I’m a complicated case that most doctors would avoid but she always figures out the best solution for the patient’s long term health, which I appreciate. That sometimes means trying other solutions, negating the need for major surgery. She never forgets she’s treating the whole person and is always kind and approachable and has time to explain and answer any questions and concerns I have. I don’t have a medical background but I’m now more educated about my health, thanks to Dr. Babicky.

As always Dr. Babicky was kind, compassionate, extremely approachable and took as much time as I needed to ask questions and gave complete, unhurried responses. I have NEVER felt rushed or that I was asking too many questions. She goes out of her way to explain what is happening and shows me the images and explains what I'm looking at. She really cares.
