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 had avoided coming in to see anyone about what I felt to be an embarrassing issue. Dr Moonka and his staff were very kind and made it all as "normal" as it could be. Dr Moonka is very easy to talk to about this issue.

A very kind person, but felt a bit in the dark on the process (what the plan was for the surgery, which seemed to change once it started). The change was for the better, but wasn't well communicated

It was fun showing Dr. Moonka the big scar on my chest that he gave me 20 years ago during a battle with cancer. He saved my life.

Dr Moonka is second to none. He carefully listens to patients and experts in other fields around him while melding all that information with his deep knowledge to bring about the best possible outcomes. His bedside manner is superior to any I've seen.

The best colorectal surgeon out there!
Dr Moonka is an extraordinary, talented surgeon with superb bedside manners. He's extremely sweet, caring, friendly, respectful and on top of everything he has a good sense of humor. He patiently answered all my questions and I never felt rushed with him. As soon as I met him, I knew I was in good hands and didn't want to be operated on by anyone else. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for expertise, experience but also someone who makes you feel cared for and safe. Dr Moonka, I can't thank you enough!
