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.

Excellent surgeon
A skilled surgeon with excellent bedside manners. She operated on my father, who was admitted to MRCH ER due to severe stomach pain. She explained the treatment plan to us and operated on him the same day. She came over to us after the surgery and explained how it went. My Dad was discharged the next day and has been in good health since his surgery.
