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.

In all my life I have never met a Dr. that was so kind and compassionate as Dr. Kachala. He is confident, does not rush to visit, thoroughly explained everything and answers all your questions. You just know his calling from God was to be a Dr. to service all of us.

Had the pleasure to meet him in 2018. I had cancer. I survived the surgery. Now 2020 i am going back to him for more cancer surgery. He makes me feel safe and assured. But my faith in God hope will again guide his hand. Good surgeon...
