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.

AMAZING SURGEON AND PERSON
Dr. Dempsey is amazing! I found him to be very nice and a good bedside manner. He is funny and he sat with me and explained everything to me on what he was going to do for the surgery, he took his time and did not rush, which to me was the best thing! He saved my life in my eyes. I was diagnosed with colon cancer in Jan 2021, he performed the colon re-section and installed my port and removed my port on 12/09/2022. He is amazing! One of the best doctors I had thru my cancer journey.

I found him to be very arrogant. I went to see him about a umbilical hernia and he wanted me to lose weight which is fine, I understand that. When he told me to go for walks I tried to explain that I could only walk like three blocks due to a degenerating back and bad knees from roofing injuries and now arthritis. His reply was, fine do twenty three block walks a day. I am living on disability because of my back, knees, and arthritis so that response was totally uncalled for. Then I tried to switch doctors to his partner in the same office and was flat out rejected two days before my appointment with him. The lady told me that I cannot switch doctors. This is America and I should be able to chose whatever doctor I please and I should not be disrespected due to being disabled. I am very angry and still living with a umbilical hernia.

I had an Emergency situation with my gall bladder. my doctor recommended dr. dempsey. prior to the surger he came in and explained everything so well that i was so at ease. We appreciated his warm manner and great communication skills. After the surgery i went to his office and his staff we equally as kind and helpful. I highly recommend him. MORE than this, my surgery was very successful. This was 7 months ago.
