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.

Saved my life. Best surgeon, beside and knowledge!
After SEVERAL drs denied me for my cancer type, broken and defeated I called Dr V's office. He not only took me on as a client but took on a severe case due to tumor size, location and vascularity concern. Dr assured me the first time I met him it was 'no problem at all' to him and he's done dozens of my type. Not only did that reassure me, he also made absolutely sure I knew exactly what was involved and what my options were with surgery and potential outcomes. He answered all of my questions and put up with my extreme anxiety level. On top of that, he gave me a personal contact to reach at any time pre and post-op. What doctor does that? let alone an MD of this high of caliber? NOT many, that's for sure!! This doctor is incredible! Not only is his bedside manner, respectfulness and knowledge amazing, but so are the results of my tumor removal. & INCREIDBLE work to make it heal as natural looking as possible. 3 weeks in I'm still healing but loving results so far! incredible work.

I want to thank Dr. Valle and his surgical team at Erlanger Surgical Center for such a great experience during my surgery yesterday. The whole thing went so smoothly and very minimal discomfort. If you're looking for a surgeon who goes far beyond the norm, Dr. Valle is the man you need to see!

Dr Valle is not only competent and thorough, but he is kind and compassionate. He helped me through a rough breast cancer journey and after 6 years of being cancer-free, he removed my portacath. I'm alive today because of his experience and skill set.
