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.

Both my wife and I had our gall bladders taken out within a month and a half of each other. Mine was an emergency. Dr. Woodriffe is an amazing professional and and even better human being!!! I trust her with my entire families life!!!

Dr. Woodriffe was excellent both as a communicator and technician. She is very patient and congenial. Dr. Woodriffe explains the entire surgical procedure and potential complications/risks in layman's and medical terms without being condescending. She is the best. I would use her again as my surgeon should the need arise. HIGHLY recommended

Dr. Woodriffe removed my gallbladder on 18 March 2019. My 1st surgery in my life, never been sick a day in my life and Dr. Woodriffe reassurance as to why the surgery was needed, what would take place, reassured me that everything would be okay and it was. The follow-up on 28 March, Dr. Woodriffe went over the X-rays and explained to me what took place. She gained my confidence on our 1st visit and it only elevated after the surgery. #OutstandingSurgeon

I had a phenomenal experience with Dr. Woodriffe. She took her time with me which I feel many doctors don't do anymore these days. She took about 20 minutes with me in her office to fully understand my health history. Then she examined me. She took many things going on in my life into consideration when deciding what my best path to healing would be. I couldn't have been any happier.

Dr. Woodriffe saved my life, removing a section of my small intestine before it ruptured from decay due to an entanglement. Moreover she is one of the most pleasant doctors I have ever dealt with. The community is very fortunate that she practices in this area.
