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.

Writing this for my elderly family member. After years of suffering with a daily GI problem, Dr. Cattau was the only doctor who correctly diagnosed the patient’s condition and prescribed successful treatment. Patient had consulted several respected physicians including 2 other GI doctors who all offered misdiagnoses. Because of Dr Cattau’s astuteness, I am scheduled to see him soon as a patient myself.
