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.

Great caring surgeon!!
Dr. Metersky is a great surgeon with an excellent staff. He fixed a more complicated hernia for me. He took a lot of time listening to my problem and history that caused my problem. He also explained how he could repair the hernia ,that another surgeon did, that failed, in a very easy to understand manner. He seems extremely knowledgeable, but has a great bedside manner that makes you comfortable and confident in his abilities. He did a great job and I am extremely happy with the results. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Metersky is an awesome surgeon. He's very knowledgeable, personable and caring. He made me feel at ease, explained everything. I have never met such a caring, sincere doctor as Dr. Metersky. His office staff is the absolute best. They are prompt and have great attitudes. Having had 4 surgeries, I have had to interact with them often. For in office appointments, I have NEVER had to wait for more than 15 minutes to be seen, if that long. He and his staff are amazing and I thank God for them. I have trusted him with my life and will forever be thankful.

I can't say enough about Dr. Metersky & his staff. Although my mother has a very scary diagnosis, the staff, and Doctor made us feel comfortable, and very relieved! He also did something I have never seen in my 20+ years of working in the medical field. He referred us to a different surgeon, who can do my mothers operation sooner, and is considered "the best in the region" for her diagnosis. He also called an oncologist to have her seen the next day! I also loved his Boots/scrubs combo!

I cannot give Doc Metersky enough praise. Had my gallbladder removed and the result was everything he said it would be. Very up front, open honest, with a great sense of humor. Took time to answer all my questions and was very professional during the entire process. Felt more like someone you would have a beer with than a pretentious doctor...very down to earth. His staff also helped us navigate the ridiculousness of insurance policies and hospitals. Can't say enough good things about them

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Meterzky, from scheduling the surgery, performing the surgery, through post surgery follow up appt. Dr. Metrezky was easy to talk to and his knowledge, professionalism and confidence in himself sets you at ease from day one. I will not hesitate in having any surgeries, if needed, with Dr. Meterzky.
