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.

Saved my life when other doctors abandoned me! Thank You

Dr. Saranto literally saved my life's life last year. My wife had a ruptured colon, which is quite often fatal. After five hours of intensive and difficult surgery according to the nurses I came to know, he saved my wife of 39 years. This man is my hero. All my thanks to him will not ever express the depth of my gratitude. When I thanked him, humbly, he only said "I was just doing my job". Wow. His after-surgery consults were easy-to-understand and he was always friendly and clear.

Dr. Saranto performed my laparoscopic appendectomy at St Louise Regional Hospital in Gilroy. He made a special trip to speak with me and look at my scans after the hospital couldn't come to final decision on my situation. He was very friendly knowledgeable and gave me all my options and laid out all the risks, He performed the surgery admirably without complication. I had surgery at 8PM and was discharged and home by 9:30 the next AM! Thank you Dr. Saranto!!!
