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.

Rude and disrespectful
My stoma leaks, ok I call in to get help, no sleep for days and I. Pain and discomfort he never came I. To check on me who had an appointment, he must have to the nurse he did not need to see me but GOD IS MY SEER! He needs empathy and compassion training! Horrible, I can't even tell you what he looks like but he knocked on all the patients door surrounding mine.

He's amazing!!! Had done many surgeries with ease to my very sick sister, who loves him. He has always made her feel comfortable. So personable and an incredible talent with those surgery hands. I am convinced the he is one of the main reasons why she is even alive today. He has a true gift -

My father was life flighted to UPMC and he was the surgeon on call and we thank God for that every day. The hospital that he came from didn't give him a chance to live. But he was confident that he can save him. Thank you!
