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.

Absolutely excellent on all counts. I had the Whipple surgery with Dr. Golas. This is one of the most complicated surgeries out there. It lasted 8 hrs. Due to Dr. Golas' surgical skill, I had none of the associated side effects and recovered perfectly in no time at all. I guess I am a "miracle patient" as much as Dr. Golas is a "miracle surgeon"!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Golas?
Great manner and very thorough. Talked me through my options and made me feel really comfortable. Spent more time with me than I expected. And offered opinions on topics which weren't his specialty but I was worried about. Lastly and most importantly, even though he's a well respected surgeon he's not jumping to cut me which I appreciate.
