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.

My care provider was very awesome. She was very personal and I couldn't ask for better care.

Second surgeory two for two everything went great
I read a couple of the reviews that were pretty negative. Well the one about the colonoscopy and having the heart doctor info. That's your responsibility to talk to your heart doctor. Whenever you need a surgeory and you know you have a heart issue the first thing you do is talk to your cardiologist. Use your head. The guy with the little boy I sympathize with you. I have a grandson with many issues. Here's the thing your going to see this doctor about operating on you. If your life is important enough for you to be here for your son you would understand that you should have someone watch your kid when the doctor wants you paying attention to what's she's telling you. These surgeons are not your primary care doctor. I've never taken my kids into a doctors office unless it was for them.

Rude. Rude. Rude staff. Cuts and runs. The whole office is horrible, including her receptionist. Had to use a different doctor in the office and dreaded going in there after her work. She has zero bedside manners and won't explain much at all.

My husband had a colonoscopy scheduled. He was instructed by Dr. Alspaugh to discontinue his blood thinner medication a week prior to the procedure. On the day of the procedure, (after doing all the miserable prep the day before), we find out that Dr. Alspaugh's office never contacted his cardiologist to coordinate any of this. The procedure was canceled on the DAY OF because of no cardiologist records. Never going back

I had a colonoscopy scheduled for Friday. I called to confirm the appointment on Tuesday verify the appointment. The staff informed me they would call me late Thursday afternoon to confirm the exact time. No phone call as of 12:00 in the afternoon. Needless to say after taking the medication that you need to take prior to the procedure.. I thought I still haven't heard so I called and they tell me that the procedure has been cancelled and that I should have been notified Tuesday! Never Again

I was referred to Dr. Alspaugh for a hernia. I was in the room with my 5 yr old son who has Autism he was sitting in a chair playing on my phone and talking quietly to himself when the Dr and I were talking she then opened up the door and told my son that he has to leave the room cause she can't talk to me with him talking. So I told her that he is Autistic and he doesn't understand she then shrugged her shoulders and told my son to leave again! I have never been treated like this with any Dr!
