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.

So bad sergon,This doctor performed an operation to remove a lipoma (a cyst) from the top of my neck from the left side from the back and he cut the nerve that serves the scalp and I am now suffering from loss of sensation in that area

I was at a loss to find a source for choosing a surgeon. My primary recommended someone who I was not interested in so I turned to my insurer Aetna, what a waste of time. This experience with Aetna has convinced me to drop them from now on. I chose Dr. Vernon after a concerted effort with the information available. Dr. Vernon was the best I could have hoped for with my hernia repair. Well done and I could not be happier with the result.
