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.

A wonderful experience
Dr. Munson was the first doctor I saw for my condition that actually listened to me and believed me. I was brushed off by several doctors prior to my visit with Dr Munson, despite my immense pain. Dr Munson actually listened to my concerns and I believe that he wanted to help me. He went beyond what others before him wouldn't do and I am so grateful.

Dr. Manson has a level of expertise beyond my expectations and my families with a recent medical scare. He was point on in describing what had happened as well as why and what his recommendations would be for my health. He was extremely kind and patient when my daughter had made a notebook of my health condition and reviewed every question and concern we had. I have recommended him to many and I feel very confident with his advice and care in the future. I would send my grandchildren to him

Dr Munson basically tells you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear. I like this approach. He is there to heal you and not hand out hugs. I have had two surgeries and two colonoscopies. No sure how I would be feeling today without his care. From the Dr - patient he answers my questions and tells me what I want to hear. I have seen other gastroenterologists and they are the ones that sent me to Dr Munson. I am not changing.

I will NEVER recommend this ?doctor? To anyone. The things he did to my family member are unspeakable - sent her home with huge, horrible open wounds that did heal for 4 months. When this family returned for follow up - this doctor's first words to this patient were, "What are you doing here, the last time I saw you, you were dead". His assistants, on follow up, did not even know how to re-dress the bandages!

Dr. Munson is an excellent physician. He's direct and to the point, which most people are not comfortable with. He stands beside and with his patients. He never makes you feel uneasy and always takes his time. I truly trust anything he tells me and I always follow through with his instructions. I wouldn't see anyone else.
