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.

This is what a doctor’s visit is supposed to be li
I have seen Dr Umoh for multiple medical conditions and each and every time he has exceeded my expectations for what a doctor patient relationship should be. Dr, Umoh is friendly, kind, compassionate and maybe more important knowledgeable. He always takes the time to make sure I have no additional questions and concerns and listens to what I have to say. I have been very pleased with the service and the results of the treatments provided. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in a great doctor.

Very highly recommended!!
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Nsikak Umoh! I came to him with a pilonidal cyst that had been bothering me for years. He took the time to explain my options and made me feel completely at ease about the surgery. The procedure was quick, and the recovery went exactly as he described. He is a genuinely nice person who cares, and has amazing bedside manner. I wish I had seen him sooner!

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Umho and his staff provide very good & helpful care. I meet three different surgeons before selecting Dr. Umho for my surgery. He was very patient and professional answering all of our questions on the difficult subject that I was apprehensive about. He was the most careful and took the most time with his pre op digital and scope inspections of the different surgeons I saw before selecting Dr Umho. From there he provided clear information on our options and specifically the pros and cons of each. The surgery went well and recovery was better than expected. Highly recommended.

Saved My Life
Dr. Umoh is the best surgeon to handle complex pilonidal cysts in the Texas area. I had multiple surgeries in the past year and none fixed my issue until Dr. Umoh did a cleft lift flap on me. After this surgery, I finally enjoyed life again and started to be social. Dr. Umoh is highly knowledgeable compared to other doctors I have seen in the past and is worth the time to talk to if needing surgery to fix a pilonidal cyst.
