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.

FANTASTIC DOCTOR
From the minute he walked in the room, I knew that Dr. Whalen would take good care of me. My surgery was in June and I finally have my life back. HIGHLY recommend. Thank you, Dr. Whalen.

Dr. Whelan is an excellent surgeon. He explains things in simple terms to make them understandable. He is never in too much of a hurry to answer your questions and I had a lot of them, and he is a very busy man. He has a great bedside manner. I would definitely recommend Dr. Whelan!
