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.

This doctor doesn't take the time for his patients. I was not taken seriously with post surgery complications.

Not impressed !
This so called 'experienced surgeon' said a patient needed immediate surgery because a carotid artery was 99.9% blocked. Then placed the surgery date - out -- a month....? The patient died while waiting for this 'urgent surgery'. Choosing a surgeon is up to the individual but if do-overs were possible - we would have chosen Fort Collins where ACTUAL experienced surgeons are available.

Terrible service, would not recommend. 0 stars!!
Had surgery over 3 months ago, have been in horrible pain ever since. Total lack of concern by surgeon and office. Will never use Regional West for anything again.
