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.

Facial skin cancer reconstruction
Facial reconstruction from skin cancer; Dr. Pecunia did amazing work! Being a new patient from moving here from out of state, I had prepared myself for disfigurement due to where the skin cancer was at. When bandages were removed I had no disfigurement, his skill and ability is amazing and words cannot express how thankful I am. He also has the best bedside manner and his staff is lovely too. I highly recommend him, to all my family, friends and to you reading this too.

Demeaning and Falsified Notes
He was blatantly degrading and demeaning during our appointment, had clearly not looked at any of my history or my chart/referral/notes, and continually spoke over me and down to me. Additionally, I reviewed the notes on Iris a few days after the appointment and discovered that he blatantly lied, claiming I had concerns I never mentioned and conditions I never had while also writing that I explicitly denied conditions of extreme concern that I have documented in my history and brought up during our appointment.

Dr Pecunia is awesome! I used him 10 years ago and again just a few days ago! I was so nervous both times and him and all of his staff made me feel so at ease and I was very pleased with the end result both times. Anytime I have had a question his nurse has always responds very quickly also. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience.

I was recommended to Dr. Pecunia from three of his former patients for breast augmentation. They are 100% satisfied with there results and so am I. He was very friendly and attentive. He thoroughly explained everything to me and help in choosing the size that best fit my lifestyle.

Not happy at all with the results, waste of money and time, going to another dr to fix, not the best bedside manner either. Does NOT listen to the patient.
