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.

Prepare for very last minute surgery cancellations
Surgery was scheduled twice. On both occasions they were cancelled at the very last minute. Last minute meaning that I was waiting to be taken to the O.R. when the “good” doctor, in all his wisdom, decided he needed more tests. If he was so unsure of himself, me, or the outcome., the decision not to operate should NOT have waited until minutes before the scheduled procedure. I have since been told that this is not an uncommon occurrence with this doctor. I’ll give him a pass for the first cancellation (but not for the timing) but not for the second one as as I was given clearance for the surgery from all of my other medical caregivers. It was partially my fault since I should never have rescheduled with him after the lousy timing of the first cancellation. BE WARNED!
