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.

So Thankful
Dr. Polanski saved my life with his skills as a heart surgeon.

Dr Polansky, Sometimes we walk to the edge without really thinking. Not really knowing what a dangerous place we are in. Thank God there are Doctors like you that are willing to do their magic even a second time to stop a bleed and keep us from falling over the edge! I have a second chance to live and enjoy a retirement that i have worked my whole life for. Just wanted to say thank you for your dedication and expertise! Thank you for saving my life! You are the man!!! Dr Riehm

Would have died if he hadn't done my surgery. I was an emergency.

This gentleman saved my life, and did not have a whole lot to work with. Has an excellent bedside manner, makes his patients feel at ease, very friendly, and communicates effectively. I was very lucky to be his patient.
