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.

Gifted Hands
Dr. Appersai and his staff are top- knotched professionals who guided me through the most important decisions in my life. Whenever there was an issue I was able to contact Dr. Appersai and his nurses and they quickly assisted, resolved and answered my concerns. I highly recommend him and his team and I thank him for giving me my life back.

Hernia Repair Surgery
Dr. Appresai was the surgeon who recently repaired my inguinal hernia. He did a fantastic job starting with my pre-operative visit where he put me at ease and made me feel very comfortable by explaining how he would perform the surgery and by listening to and answering all my questions. The surgery went exactly as Dr. Appresai had explained it to me and was successful in fully repairing my inguinal hernia. I had a great experience with Dr. Appresai, as I found him to be caring, empathetic and considerate of all my needs. I would highly recommend Dr. Appresai as a surgeon.

Dr Appresai is a very caring, compassionate and respectful doctor. He took the time to answer any questions and I never felt rushed. He was very thorough on explaining the gallbladder surgery and making me feel comfortable on my decision. It has been over 2 months since my surgery. I have little to no scarring and had virtually no pain since the surgery. I highly recommend Dr Appresai to anyone that needs to have their gallbladder removed. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon.

Dr. Appresai has saved my life in many different ways. Dr. Appresai is my lapband doctor. Three months after my lapband surgery I found out I had stage 3 uterine cancer. After cancer surgery I had 2 infection surgeries and Dr. Appresai managed my care. He is an unbelievable doctor but even a better caring human being. If I could give a rating higher than 5 stars I would.
