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.

I met Dr. William Thibault at the hospital after my angiogram. He was one of 4 doctors I ended up talking to about options dealing with the replacement of my aortic valve which needed to be done. He took the time to walk me through my situation and recommended open-heart surgery as the best option for me. He said his partner Dr. Taylor Tang could do a less invasive open-heart surgery and later that same day Dr. Tang came by and talked to me as well. After talking to the four doctors concerning my situation I did end up doing what Dr. Thibault recommended for me, open-heart surgery with Dr. Tang. I want to thank Dr. Thibault as well as all the doctors that I talked to and answered all my questions as they were all great and much appreciated.

Dr Thibault performed surgery on me recently. Im very pleased how it went: his expertise, skills and wonderful bedside manner when he explained and answered all my questions. I felt very comfortable with him as well when i went in for a follow up as I healed. He is very highly recommended, 5 stars.

Recently I was a candidate for heart surgery, was in pretty rough shape! I had little prep time mentally and emotionally - the time was right now for the open heart procedure. I live in Florida and was fortunate that at the time of my failed heart cath Dr. Thibault was the on call heart surgeon @ Citrus Memorial. All the confidence and calmness of this man was very helpful, I am grateful. Along with a great team, Dr. Thibault brought me through this huge procedure of extended life. Thank You

I had a heart attack in November of 2013 and as a result had to have 4x bypass surgery at Mission Hospital. Dr.. Thibault came to the CCU to visit me 2 days before the surgery pulled up a chair beside my bed and sat down. He introduced himself and said tell me about yourself . I started to tell him about my heart attack and he said no tell me about who you are. I knew at that that moment I was in good hands . He made sure that my family was kept informed during the procedure . I am so grateful.

I had surgery preformed by William Thibault. He is straightforward and no nonsense in his preparations and as of now I feel great, so I myself consider that a big success. I feel as good as before which to me is fine since I never had prior symptoms or issues. The doctor was helpful in the followups answered my issues and covered thoroughly what I needed to be doing. Professional in the surgery and preparations and personable in his followups.
