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 did an amazing job with my keloid. After the removal he prescribed radiation and follow up visits. His experience really shows in his work, I look back at where the keloid was and it's as if nothing was ever there. He's a true professional

I broke my jaw, this guy didn't even do the correct procedure. My teeth never aligned after surgery. I even asked about the procedure closed or open, he choose the fastest and easiest way, got paid and screwed me. You would be a fool to go to him. I was told to see my dentist, we'll my dentist confirmed, the guy did it wrong. I've been to FOUR (4) maxi facial surgeons all agree that he did the wrong procedure now it's costing 10,000 to align my mouth so I do not have headaches.GET 2ND OPINION

I would NEVER recommend this surgeon to anyone. He did plastic surgery on a wound on my brothers back. He did a horrible job, cosmetically as well as functionally. There are necrotic areas, and now we have to see another surgeon. He wouldn't see him in follow-up either, unless we came to the ER. Beware!
