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.

Dr. Chirag S. Desai, i was very concerned today when Erin Meslar called and indicated there was a decision made to not proceed with the Pancreatic Islet cell transplant procedure i had been planning with your staff. I have followed every direction given by the team and was excited to finally get my life back without the chronic pain and nausea. Is the sugery still a solution for me if i can continue to improve my BMI? Respectfully, Rickey Grant
