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.

After 2 visits to the ER, and being admitted each time, I was diagnosed with a very large stomach tumor/mass. The tumor had affected my health for quite some time. I am a 74 year old Female who is a diabetic, with high blood pressure. Needless to say, I was floored. I was weak, lethargic, and in considerable pain. I'm no doctor, but after seeing the pictures from inside my stomach, I knew I was in trouble! Finally, one of my doctors referred me to Dr. David Kooby. Dr. Kooby explained everything in detail. He told me what he would do, and what to expect. On July 20, 2021, Dr. Kooby performed an Esophagogastroduodenoscopy on me. I was released on July 25, 2021. I'm a different person today. I look forward to each day. Dr. Kooby saved my life! He took good care of me. He is a great doctor, but more importantly, he is a genuinely kind and considerate person. I highly recommend this doctor! Thank God for Dr. David Kooby!

Dr. Kooby and his team are excellent, they treated my very complicated Pancreatitis medical condition that was caused by extremely high triglycerides that the body was producing too much of. They were willing to take the time to research and understand my history and how my condition has been progressing (in the wrong direction) for several years. After almost 8 years of seeing several doctors, this was the first time I was able to feel that Dr. Kooby and his team are the ones I can trust for my treatment plan and eventually a successful A++ surgery. If you want a team that will look at every facet of your issue with great detail and be able to deliver a great result, then this is the team.

In addition to his knowledge and expertise, a physician should first be kind and approachable. Dr Kooby is all of that and more! He is patient and takes time to answer questions and address every concern. My experience with Dr Kooby and his team far exceeded my expectations! I would highly recommend him!

I was told by my dr that I had a mass in my pancreas. He also told me that he took it upon himself to call a surgical oncologist that he highly respected....Dr. Kooby....and that his office would be calling me. I wanted to go to MD Anderson, but I was too sick to travel so we decided to meet with Dr. Kooby. My family did research on Dr. Kooby and felt this was the right surgeon for me. The Whipple was done perfectly and my recovery was remarkable. Dr. K is a truly gifted surgeon & great guy
