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.

On my visit she did not discuss as much as she did with my husband. Day of husband’s colonoscopy she came in before surgery and spoke with him. When he called for follow up appointment for the next week (as he was told to do) he was told they did not work the following week. My colonoscopy was for the following Monday, the week they were not working. When my colonoscopy day came around the Dr. did not come in and talk to me before or after the surgery which makes me wonder who actually did my colonoscopy since we were told she was not working that week. We never saw her at all for my colonoscopy which is scary to think there was a Dr. I do not know who may have performed my colonoscopy?! Why would a Dr. not come in at some point to talk to you when you are nervous about a procedure or just to let you know they are there to do it. She did so for my husband the week before. I will always wonder who actually did my colonoscopy.

Dr. Kim is by far the best Dr. I have had since 1964 when I was seriously injured in a logging accident. Dr. Kim explains her findings, shows empathy and genuine compassion for her patient. I had hernia surgery 3 days ago and feel very well at this time. Dr. Kim also called yesterday to see how I was doing and said I could call her back if need be. I just don't know if you could find a better caring surgeon.

Dr. Soon and Sara Campbell are the kindest most sincere doctors I have ever met. They took time to listen to me and stayed after hours just to do a procedure for me. They and the staff were so compassionate and caring I am still in disbelief at the kindness and care shown by them all. I would strongly recommend there office for any general surgery procedures.
