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 nice doctor but didn't complete a successful surgery for removing cancer from our sons neck lymph nodes. Left so much disease our local endocrinologist said it was medically impossible to have that much cancer remaining right after surgery. The cancer is very slow growing so it isn't new growth and is residual left behind from failed surgery. The next recommendation was to do RAI. Thank goodness I didn't blindly sign our child up for that. He has way to much disease for the RAI to even be effective against cancer so he would just get a lot of risk without the intended benefit of killing all the cancer. Please look for another surgeon if needing a neck dissection. My son shouldn't have to be going for another surgery. Also doctor didn't even call or have staff call to give final results. He sent thru the portal to follow up with their endo for RAI treatment. Very unprofessional not to contact the patient by phone.

He was extremely knowledgable and worked hard to put my very nervous, 4 year old at ease. I couldn't have asked for a better Doctor/surgery. My son came through the surgery beautifully and after having his tonsils and adenoids removed he is sleeping so much better and is no longer experiencing any Apnea. I wouldn't even consider seeing anyone else should my children need anything similar in the future. You may wait longer than some other drs to get an appt. but he is absolutely worth the wait.
