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.

Dr. T is awesome!!! He and his team helped to save my life. I am 3 months Post op from the Gastric Sleeve and loving this weight loss journey. After seeing Dr. T 4 plus years ago and not going through with the surgery I wasn't sure if I would be looked at negatively. I was encouraged and I finally made it to the "Loser's Bench" I recently recommended Dr. Tichansky to a co-worker and I hope she takes full advantage of Jefferson's fabulous staff!!!!!

I had the sleeve on March 21st 2017, yes almost eight weeks ago. Dr. Tichansky and his team are amazing. From the first day I walked into the office until my 2nd follow up appointment, I was always informed. I knew everything that was going to happen and how I would feel. Dr. T's bedside manner is genuine. The dietician, the CNPR the front desk staff all want you to succeed. I am 46lbs down. I'll take it. I hope this helps someone make the right choice. Leslie
