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.

Cami and Gwen love you
The coolest man I've never met! Hugs and kisses!

Dr. Ogilvie has an amazing bedside manner and considering what each patient is usually there to see him about, never makes you feel embarrassed yet is kind, caring and takes the time to explain everything throughly and answers any questions you may have along the way. No one really wants to HAVE to go see a rectal surgeon however if you do, there isn’t anyone I would ever recommend other than Dr. Ogilvie. I have seen other doctors in the past and they aren’t even half as knowledgeable or as friendly as Dr. Ogilvie

I enjoy seeing Dr. Ogilvie. Post treatment cancer care is not pleasant but Dr. Ogilvie is always upbeat, helpful, courteous, professional and seems genuinely concerned about me and my condition. I wish all doctors were like him.
