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.

An Asset to the Community
Dr. Bissell talks to you not at you. His explanations are clear and concise. He listens to your questions and makes sure to answer anything you ask. Given my health issues, I am extremely pleased to have Dr. Bissell as one of my doctors at NRV Medical Center in Radford.

I would not recommend Dr. Bissell for colorectal surgery. I was referred to him by his wife Dr. Nicole Bissell. He performed surgery on me for superficial fistula. After surgery, I had scar tissue and developed fissure in the same area. I wish I went to a colorectal surgeon for my problem.

Never once does Dr. Bissell give up based upon percentages. He treats patients to live and thrive no matter what. He's dedicated and communicates, well. Plus, he is a matrix of comfort and charisma. Go with him and his advice.

Dr. Bissell did my gallbladder surgery. He is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the procedure as well as what to expect following surgery. 2 weeks post-op and I feel great! He also has a fantastic sense of humor. I highly recommend Dr. Bissell.

Knowledgeable, and an effective communicator. Dr. Bissell is a surgeon I very highly recommend. My recent hernia procedure went exactly as I had hoped for, and Dr. Bissell's excellent work and care is the reason.

Dr. Bissell came highly recommended to me by friends and colleagues. He's immensely proficient with laparoscopic procedures. He has an excellent bedside manner with his patients as well. I would highly recommend him to anyone, and I will be sure to use him for any procedures I need to have in the future.
