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 explains everything to you before surgery , and after surgery he will tell you what he did to you . And like in my case he told me I did have a mass in my uterus. Thank you Doctor Atwater.

I am so fortunate that the ER Doc. called Dr. Atwater when I had a surgical urgency. He did an excellent surgical job but also was very thorough and patient explaining what he did and why. I am a nurse so I know enough that I won't accept less than complete answers to questions or less than great care. Dr. Atwater came through.

He is very personable and he was ready for any and all questions. His staff is also very kind and extremely helpful. I would recommend him to everyone I know!
