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.

Oncology Surgery
Excellent communication before and after Breast Surgery which was very important to me..He has a sense of humor and great 'bedside manner '. I also healed quickly with relatively little post surgical pain.

I
After learning I had breast cancer following a mammogram and biopsy and thinking I was going to die, the first thing he said was. You are not going to die which felt like a boulder lifted from my shoulders. He explained my options and performed my surgery and the second day I was feeling well enough to resume most of my regular activities without pain medication. Highly recommend him for this situation. He takes the time to explain and answers all your concerns
