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.

A Literal Life Saver
Dr. Cassivi is a world class surgeon who was able to resect my dad's Stage 3 lung cancer when our regional thoracic surgeon could not. He is an extremely skilled professional. He helped not only my dad physically, but the entire family mentally and emotionally. Getting set up with the Mayo Clinic was a very fast-moving and convenient process. I cannot recommend Dr. Cassivi enough.

I had a positive first impression, but was very disappointed when Dr. Cassivi failed to follow up with me despite leaving multiple messages for him.

I have had many medical issues and been in many Hospitals across the U.S. always trying to seek out the best possible care. Without doubt Dr. Cassivi ranks right at the top. Highly competent, truly caring and concerned about staying in touch after the surgery has been completed. I personally feel that he is one of the best Surgeons in the Country. I wish that we had more Doctors like him.

Dr. Cassivi exemplifies what every physician should strive for. He is caring, compassionate, and outstanding in his field. He has gone over and beyond again and again to make sure that I receive the best care that Mayo has to offer, even though my problems had nothing to do with thoracic surgery. Word can't fully express my gratitude for his care over the last 10 years.
