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.

He did a great job on my surgery. He was clear, concise and very good at his job. I appreciate his work.

Dr Trotta, informed Leon of the problem noted in Leon's lower abdomen. A date for surgery was set immediately. Dr Trotta gave gave us his instructions. After surgery, Dr Trotta shared his findings with me. We couldn't ask for more timely information. Leon's surgery was handled expertly.

I would give Dr. Trotta 0 stars if I could. On July 2016, he performed surgery on my mother to remove her gallbladder. He incorrectly planned surgery, poorly performed it and another, took a vacation, discharged with a visibly opening incision and ignored obvious infection indications weeks later. Near fatal infection has had an 8 month impact with further reconstruction and rehabilitation not even started. Do not see this doctor!
