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.

I had a very unusual gall bladder removal Dr Gates was very upfront and informative with everything. He saved my life. I would recommend him to anyone.

Surgery to place a peritoneal dialysis port
This was a follow up visit two weeks after my surgery. I have had several laparoscopic abdominal surgeries and this was the most pain free yet. Dr, Gates is an excellent surgeon in my opinion. In visits pre and post surgery, he was friendly and professional. He made me feel that he was seriously interested in my well being. He discussed the procedure. Asked me questions and answered my questions.
