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.

Very caring, friendly! Love her! Highly recommend

Dr Dempsey
Breast disease is scary to say the least. To have a provider/surgeon who takes whatever time and energy it takes to make sure patients understand the disease, the process, the possible outcomes, in a manner that is compassionate, kind with human connection is rare. Dr Demsey is that kind of surgeon. I would not recommend any one else but Dr Dempsey.

Dr. Dempsey is the absolute best! She was my surgeon when I had to have a suspicious lump removed. She performed the procedure and I had minimal pain after. Not only is she a fantastic surgeon, she is a caring and compassionate person!

After waiting over an 1.5 hours, when she came into the room she didn't even acknowledge My husband or I. I felt that she disregarded anything I had to say or any questions I might had needed answered. Needless to say after all the swelling and pain I have been having she referred me to another surgeon. She is a breast specialist, I was truly hoping that she would be able to help me. So now I wait 3 more weeks.

Dr. Dempsey is one of the most Amazing doctors that I've had the privilege to encounter, after my first initial visit with her I knew with everything in me that our foot steps were suppose to cross paths with one another other. The love and compassion that she showed towards me at everyone of my visits or procedure's will be with me for the rest of my life. Thanks to my PC for the referral to this phenomenal woman and doctor.

She is more than a doctor, she is the perfect human being to meet when you receive this kind of diagnosis. The surgery was unbelievably perfect, painless and full of care. All my fears completely vanished with her support. I have to be thankful for her all my life!
