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. Olthoff was the surgeon who performed the surgery to remove a portion of my liver to have it transplanted into my recipient. I knew from the moment that I met Dr. Olthoff that I was in good hands, literally. She is caring and compassionate and I could not have asked for a better surgeon! I'm coming up on 3 years post op and you can barely see my incision! Thank you for your wonderful work!
