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.

Hands down one of the best doctors I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Personable, caring, attentive

Dr. Tepper and his staff are outstanding. If I could provide a ten star rating I would. The office personnel are extremely friendly and professional. Dr. Tepper explained everything to my husband and I. There was no question unanswered. This is our first visit and I found Dr. Tepper and his staff to be excellent healthcare providers. The staff and Dr. Tepper were incredible.

This is the second time Dr. Tepper has performed surgery on me. I have found him to be an extremely competent surgeon: no pain during or after the procedure, no scarring, very fast healing - one week! His staff, like Dr. Tepper, is friendly, efficient, and very competent. I highly recommend Dr. Tepper.

I hardly ever give a 5 star rating, but I would give Dr Tepper 6 stars if it were possible. He is extremely knowledgeable and amazingly generous with his time. My primary concern was having capsular contracture, since I had problems with that from my original procedure. He said that he has only had 1 patient in all his years of practice who had that complication, and I totally believe him. The results of the surgery look great, recovery has been smooth and no sign of capsular contracture!
