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.

Had sling surgery. From beginning to end it was a wonderful experience. He explained everything in detail. Minimal pain. Went home feeling great! Meds were called in beforehand and follow up visit made. Thank you Dr. D!

Dr. Dedelow did my daughter's endometriosis surgery, and I was so impressed that I left my OB/GYN whom I had been with for over 20 years. Dr. Dedelow is addressing my issues which were ignored for quite some time. I am relieved to have such a good, attentive doctor who thinks outside the box.

Recently, he has too many patients. He covers too many hospitals as well. He can’t follow through. If you aren’t high on his priority and expect an “at risk” doctor, don’t plan on it. He put my situation at risk of a bad situation. I sat in the hospital with a planned induction dilated to an 8 1/2 to 9 1/2. Dedelow was at another hospital 30 minutes away promising he was coming. He shut my pitocin drip. Waited three hours for him with my daughter’s head between my legs and an epidural. My daughter was caught slightly behind my pelvis which could have caused further complications for an instant c-section. She certainly was blue in color and NICU was there. I had a midwife deliver my daughter. Something I never signed up for. Think twice before signing up for an appointment with Dedelow.

Omg! When you talk about the best ever, Dr. D. Dedelow is the one. He is very attentive to his patient, does not dismiss the smallest detail, would give you multiple simple choices and explain to you all he will be doing. He is the best and if I still had to have more kids, Dedelow is my guy. Do not bother going anywhere else, he should be used as a Model for other drs. And his staff, I am always blown away with their kindness and friendliness. Team Dedelow the best EVER!!!

I left my Dr of ten yrs and switched to Dedelow. So glad I did. He really listens and is knowledgeable. He did a hysterectomy on me last week and I feel great. I had many problems and he addressed them all. Very happy with him. He accomplished in three months what my other doctor didn't in over two years. No more pain and suffering for me. Will definitely be a life long patient. So far, staff is great too. Very happy.

I trust Dr Dedelow very much as my doctor. He is an excellent surgeon and when I had my surgery I got the best care. There might be a wait in the office at times but it depends on when you schedule. He has very good judgement on his clinical skills. I have recommended many friends and family members to him. He will give the patient as much time as they need !!

First off, plan to spend at LEAST 2 hours for every visit, and dont expect an apology for it taking that long. If you decide to actually still proceed, make sure they bill your insurance! I have 3 bills, none of which they sent in my insurance bill, despite providing info. Third, dont expect them to give your results, they wont.Fourth, and WORST of all, dont expect to get a call when you are having blood clots and excessive bleeding coming from a biopsy location, even a month after you call!

Dr. Dedelow is a fantastic Dr. He's a straight shooter and doesn't beat around the bush, very to the point but also full of light hearted humor. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my healthcare.

Dr. Dedelow's staff and nurse's are very nice. But one thing to know is that wait time in the waiting room is about an hour. Other than that Dedelow is a GREAT doctor!! You can tell he cares about his patient's. I definitely feel like I can just be myself around him. Which I'm never like that with doctor's. I definitely recommend him to family and friends!!

The secretaries are nice, nurse staff....well I haven't met all of them, but the few I have...( AWESOME!) It always helps to have someone to talk with before seeing doc. Now for the doctor, he's just amazing. Anything you want to ask or talk about he's all ears. What made me feel comfortable with him is that, he really deep down inside cares about his patients. Seriously, he's very open minded so don't feel weird being yourself around him.
