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.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Hess?
We had challenges. Had to repeat surgery several times. Nice enough unless your surgery outcome isn't good then he becomes not so nice and tends to blame patient. Make sure you have a hospitalist follow in the hospital. Many things the surgeon won't want to deal with.
