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 have had my colonoscopies only with Dr. Snipes. Super kind, knowledgeable and very friendly. Clear, great listener and adviser.

Dr. Snipes is a fantatic Dr. I have seen him 3 or 4 times and I hope he never retires while I am still alive! He is such a good doctor. The fist time I saw him was rigt after my husbands death and he showed such compassion. He is so goodthat while he did the procedure I felt completely at ease and was not uncomfortable or embarrased at all. Now, that is saying a lot for a dictor performing a colonoscopy!!! I have recommended him to family and friends and will continue to do so. Like me they say he is the best and they will never switch to another doctor.

Nobody wants to have a colonoscopy, but Dr Snipes with his friendly easy going bedside manner put me to ease. His staff at Lakeland Hospital were fantastic to say the least. Dr Snipes gave me enough medication to relax me and the fact that he allowed me to watch my entire procedure was for me even more relaxing. Meeting Dr Snipes is like you have known him your entire life. I will never hesitate to recommend him and in 10 years will not hesitate to call on him again. Thank you Dr. Snipes

I appreciated that Dr Snipes was patient with my questions. He was responsive to my phone calls. He was very willing to talk about treatment alternatives. He cared about how much things could cost. My daughter-in-law is a nurse and says that Dr. Snipes enjoys a very good reputation. I recommend him.
