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.

Horrible and humiliating!

Skilled Physicians
In a world where doctors are all about numbers and statistics, Dr. Buhs really cares for patients. He's realistic and I had a great outcome/experience with my surgery. He really made me feel safe and in good hands.

He left Mayo like many other doctors did. I can’t believe this place in Mankato calls itself part of Mayo Clinic. What a sham!!!

Unprofessional and doesn’t know how to do his job. He made up completely false information and put it on my patient record. It’s amazing how he gets by talking to patients the way he does.
