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.

Excellent! Dr Hallowell did a superb job of discussing my options and was nicely upbeat!

I had gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. Hallowell. He was professional and competent. He explained the procedure well and was very easy to talk with. My only reservation was that after surgery I rarely saw him, I think he visited for 5 minutes. I know as a teaching faculty, he is very busy.
