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.

Very degrading/demeaning towards staff members. It made the appointment uncomfortable in my opinion.

Was not able to see my regular dr. Saw dr Newman about what to do before my toe amputation and was told if I take your toe today how broke do you want to be. Him as a doctor should have been how can I help my patient. That should have been his only concern

Dr. Newman saw me in the emergency room in 2012 with gallbladder issues. He was very nice very thorough explained everything really well. He gave me options. He did surgery the next day to remove my gallbladder. I had absolutely no complications.

He did the surgery in 38 minutes flat and forgot to seal up on of the bile ducts. I was released from the hospital the next day still throwing up and unable to keep anything down but the staff had me up and walking around when I was doubled over in pain and could barely stand straight. Avoid this surgeon and AVOID this hospital. I almost died from bile poisoning. I laid in bed for a week unable to move. I asked if throwing up was normal after surgery and he told me Well, it's normal for you.
