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.

It is worth the wait to be seen by such a caring, intelligent and talented Doctor. She always takes the time to listen to her patients even if it's outside her specialty. She is a remarkable surgeon and takes on the most difficult cases too. I've had friends who had reconstructive-type surgeries with her and the results are very good. I would recommend her to any of my family members.

The BEST. You won't find a better Surgeon and a wonderful wonderful woman. 5x Throat cancer survivor because of her I am still here. I can't say enough about UC either. Just phenomenal. She saved me. In more ways than one.

Gem of a person and a doctor, always happy to talk and give advise on anything beyond the ENT problem. I am a psychiatrist myself and I always joke to her that she should be a psychiatrist instead of a surgeon.
