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 direct
I liked Dr. Ikossi because she was very direct and didn't sugarcoat anything. She was also very caring, thorough and funny. The only thing she could improve on is realizing when the patient is feeling pain and be a little more gentle (like when changing bandage or removing drains). Otherwise, I really liked her and would not hesitate to use her again.

I was rushed to St. Marys hospital May 6, 2008 with a deadly infection in my Pancreas. I was in a 21 day Medically induced comma. I couldn't write, talk or walk. After a month longer hospital I had to go Russell Park Rehab Nursing home for 62 days Lewiston. DR. Ikossi saved my life and will ALWAYS be greatful.

Dr Ikossi removed a metastatic lesion from my lung. I have since heard from another doctor that most surgeons will not agree to remove a stage IV lung lesion because the outcome is generally not favorable and this impacts their statistics. I was told that Dr. ikossi is in a small minority of surgeons that would of provided this care for me. I am alive many years later and cancer free because she was willing to perform this surgery. Highly recommend!
