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.

Professional, friendly, listened and punctual.

Knowledgeable, efficient, fantastic doctor
Dr. Tilson has been my Gastro for more than 5 years. He has followed my somewhat complex and serious needs with ease. He has been tenacious with other members of care like hospitals, surgeons etc. to make sure that things were resolved in a timely manner. I am happy and grateful I found him.

One of the Best!
Truly wonderful physician. I have been his patient for 14 years and he has always been there for me. He always listens to my concerns and never rushes through an office visit. We’ve come through major digestive issues, procedures, biopsies, and cancers. I am proud to have Dr. Tilson as part of my healthcare team.

You know you're in good hands when a doctor says 'Let me research that' rather than 'You're wrong.' I have absolute confidence that I am getting the best care possible from Dr. Tilson.

Initial consult was great. Had a different perspective then my other doctor. Sent me for a test. After the test it took me over 3 weeks and several frustrating phone calls to get the results from him. He then implemented a plan for me. Long and short his plan did not heal me which is fine. What is not fine is that he has not returned my phone calls for 6 weeks. Several calls. All ignored. Unacceptable! I need a reliable doctor. Dr Tilson is a joke. Patient follow up is nonexistent. Unreliable.

Dr. Tilson is amazing. He is warm and friendly. Even as a new patient he saw me immediately for abdominal pain. He scheduled two different procedures, the one he is able to do himself was scheduled the next day and the other test 6 days later. He was attentive and made sure he thoroughly went through every possible option for me.
