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. Thurber performed a triple bypass on me in August 2019. He's very professional, knowledgeable, great bedside manor, an a top notch surgeon. I experienced minimal pain after surgery. I was up and walking less than 24 hours after the procedure. I feel 200% better than I did before surgery. This man is truly a gifted surgeon that I entrusted my life to and would not hesitate to do it again.
