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.

The worst doctor ever. Do not believe the good reviews, like I did. He was rude, condescending, belittling, sarcastic, dismissive, and angry. Not the type of person who should be dealing with people who are ill -no compassion at all.

Outstanding GI Physician. I was referred to him by another GI specialist who felt he could no longer help my difficult problem. He has performed numerous procedures on me with excellent results. In my opinion, he is the best. His staff is also outstanding.
