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.

He has been our doctor for many years.
He is always kind and personable. Both I and my husband have had several colonoscopies, and he has removed polyps from my husband. He also did a colon resection for my husband several years ago due to severe diverticulitis. I highly recommend him. His staff is also very helpful.

Dr. Senter is one of the most professional doctor's that I have ever been referred to! His compassion and bed side manner goes above and beyond the call of duty. His ability to explain the circumstances that you are about to encounter is so straight forward and to the point. His ability to set you at ease is amazing, he answers every question and never rushes you through like you are just another number. His staff is great at handling Insurance and are very efficient and effective, and kind.

Dr. Senter was recommended to our family by a very highly regarded professor of nursing that has witnessed his work first hand. She said that he was the "very best." He operated on my mom to remove a tumor from her rectum and removed the sigmoid colon as well. He was a Godsend, and visited her daily at the hospital answering any questions we had. I am a nurse, and I recognize excellent care. He provided EXCELLENT care!!

Dr Senter was heaven sent! He is a great doctor. Dr Senter walked myself and my family through the entire process making it easy for all of us. He did a great job and I feel 100%. The entire process from start to finish was easy and he was very clear. It has been a month since my surgery and I feel like a new man. I am thankful for Dr Senter and highly recommend him. One of the best in the state. Thank you so much!

I went through verification of coverage with Dr. Senter's staff, prepped for colonoscopy as requested, reported to the clinic, then after I checked in, was told that Dr. Senter could not do the colonoscopy because my insurance coverage wouldn't cover it. He came out to talk to me (first time I had met him) and blamed it on problems with insurance rather than his office/staff. My wife had taken the day off work, the prep was inconvenient and cost $$, yet Dr. Senter didn't seem to care.

Dr. Senter was awesome. He's very caring and great bedside manners. He was great! His staff was very nice too. I would recommend him to anyone. He came to visit me after my surgery and explained everything and he stayed until all of our questions were answered.

Worst doctor in my life. Almost killed me, removed 3 Hemorrhoids instead of 1 that was affected. Put me on catheter right after the surgery, because I could not urinate , which is very normal till next morning afterwords. The catheter gave a worst urinate infection. My right side testicle became like a Tennis ball, I spent another 3 weeks in the hospital for curing it. Then I had an additional surgical procedure to clean all ulcers Dr. Senter left. I would not recommend this doctor to my enemy.
