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.

Dr. Roof saw me in July 2019 for severe abdominal pain when I was 20 weeks pregnant. We found out unneeded to have my appendix removed and I was scared, he reassured me that everything was fine and really calmed my nerves. He even check on me later after surgery. Then last night I took my son to the ER for a high high temp, he ran lots of tests and called us with results. Dr. Roof reached out to check on him and answered all of my questions and concerns. He is not only an amazing doctor but an overall amazing guy? MercyOne is lucky to have him.

Dr. Roof saw me in the emergency room for severe abdominal pain. He was compassionate, listened carefully to my description of my symptoms, was very candid in addressing my concerns and giving me advice once I was diagnosed, and was one of the coolest, most down to earth Doctors I have ever met. Highly recommended.
