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. Azar is a great surgeon and doctor in my opinion. He corrected some conditions that were caused by another surgeon’s premature surgery to remove a colonoscopy bag when I still had a lot of infection in my body. This caused problems with adhesions as my intestines were glued together and caused continuous problems. He has also repaired 3 hernias in my stomach wall. He has always been professional and caring and has always answered all my questions and explained all diagnoses and procedures throughly. I have a lot of respect for Dr. Azar and HAVE recommended him and WILL continue to recommend him to my friends and others.
