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.

The Absolute Best at His Profession
Dr. Sanghera performed a Whipple Procedure to remove the left side of my pancreas, my spleen and nine lymph nodes. After the surgery, I am cancer free, I had some complications with my drain and was readmitted to Kennestone Hospital. He visited me everyday and alway brought light and cheerfully encouraging words. I could not have had a better surgeon and am very grateful for the loving care he provided for me. I could not recommend him more highly. Thank you Dr, Sanghera. I will be forever thankful for your skills and your professional care.

Absolutely.
Dr. Sanghera performed emergency surgery on me as a result of a perforated colon caused by cancer. I entered the Marietta emergency room at 5PM, met Dr Sanghera for the first time around 6PM, and I was in the operating room by 7PM. The operation was a great sucess. His follow up on the days to come was excellent. He saved my life for which I always be thankful.

Dr Sanghera is very knowledgeable, experienced and compassionate. I went to see him with a very rear and complicated tumor of the adrenal gland. My case was complicated and needed a special plan of care. he coordinated with my other doctors, he kept me informed of all my test and took time to explain my surgical plan. With Dr Sanghera, I never felt rushed and I felt less scared each time I left his office. Awesome great surgeon. He had my surgery done with absolutely no complication.

A fantastic knowledgeable, caring, skillful surgeon. Dr. Sanghera is a knowledgeable, deeply caring, skillful surgeon. Chose Dr. Sanghera to evaluate and operate on melanoma spot in my back which possibly had spread to lymphatic system. He took the time to fully explained procedure and possible results. My wife and I were very impressed. Outpatient surgery was scheduled the next week. Dr. Sanghera and his team at Kennestone did a super job. Got successful results - thank you Dr. Sanghera

I'm having MRIs to monitor chance for pancreatic cancer. Dr. Sanghera is very personable and does an excellent job of putting complex medical jargon from test results in layman's terms. He's willing to spend whatever time you need to answer questions. He's prompt, and both my husband and I feel that I'm being given personalized, compassionate care.
