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.

Highly recommend. Dr. Hom is professional, meticulous, skilled, courteous and very good at describing options/outcome.

Do NOT recommend. He pressured me into cosmetic surgery on my nose- i didn't need it, pointing out flaws. I had a beautiful nose, but he kept suggesting changes he thought I needed, preying on insecurities. He ignored everything i said to be sure to NOT change, i was very clear about it, but he went ahead and did what he wanted. I'm devastated, depressed when i look in the mirror since then. much less attractive now. Dr Hom, I really hope it was worth it to you to make a few $ to ruin my life.

How fortunate to have found Dr. Hom after my plastic surgeon retired. Dr. Hom is recognized as a top doctor locally and nationally, is widely published, and known for his healing research. His people skills are exceptional. He takes time to listen, answer questions, and lets you know your concerns matter. He walks the extra mile to assist you with any connected health issues. My two reconstructive Mohs surgeries turned out exceptionally well. I am so grateful for his care.
