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.

unsatisfactory visit
Examined me rectally and said he "didn't feel anything" when I have a rectal wall prolapse that leaves me almost unable to have a bowel movement without manually cleaning out anus. I regularly use stool softeners and fibre supplements, His parting advice was to not drink coffee in the morning without eating and to use stool softeners and fibre supplements. He had also asked if I had a recent colonoscopy. I told him I was afraid of puncturing the tissue inside my rectum.

He has a dismissive attitude and I have not improved as I have told him the treatment isn’t helping. He doesn’t seem to want to listen and keeps me on same treatment.

He has been treating our mother. He is very good at explaining procedure and what to expect. He is very personable and we feel very comfortable and trust his good judgement! I'm speaking for myself as well as my five siblings.
