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.

Amazing Surgeon
I had a bypass with Dr. Rasmussen a little over three years ago. I have had little to no complications and have been extremely successful in my weight loss journey. He is highly nonweldable and really prepared me for pre and post op. He gave me all the tools to my great success. I have been able to keep the weight off and live a healthier happier lifestyle.

Dr. Rasmussen performed an emergency colostomy and a colostomy reversal on me. He spent extra time on the reversal and they were both successful surgeries. I appreciate his expertise.

Think twice before using him
He did surgery on my mom 7 years ago and ever since then it has been heck for her. She has a feeding tube in her stomach after he worked on her. My mom has low quality of life and is tired after work because of it. So don't ever use him.

He is very caring, listens well and explains the procedure very well. His staff is phenomenal, and I have had hardly any issues since my surgery.

Found Dr. Rasmussen and his EXCELLENT Nurse "Laura" via a ton of research. I needed to have a Nissen Wrap redone due to a recurrent Hiatial Hernia, and massive heartburn/GERD. Very easy to work with and lots of experience in his field. Still recovering at home but ZERO Heartburn. Very happy with my surgery.

Dr. Rasmussen came highly recommended to us. As I waited to be taken in for my Cancer surgery, another doctor that did a knee replacement walked by. He stopped and was sad for what I was going through but commented that he has Dr. Rasmussen do any surgery he needs done. That is as good of a recommendation that one can ever hear. I had my surgery and was told that I would need pain pills when the epidural wore off. I have a very low threshold for pain---But needed none at all. Very Skilled.
