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.

Had heart surgery 5 years ago, doing great. Can hardly see a scar. Great job and thanks.

Unnecessarily removed my whole right lung for a 2 cm carcinoid cancer (confirmed from multiple other thoracic surgeons) and paralyzed my diaphragm. I have had 2 diaphragmatic surgeries, which have not worked, 2 broken right ribs that have never healed since 2010 and now my heart is in the upper right side of my chest. I have had several hospital and doctor bills over the last 10 years. I did bring this to his attention to which he never responded.

Absolutely amazing surgeon, doctor, and person! He just happened to come back from vacation early on a Sunday and saved my dad's life during the almost 8 hour surgery. There aren't words to describe this doctor and his entire team... Simply amazing.
