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.

Does not care about patients, minimizes conditions
Dr Decoons is the worst kind of Doctor. On paper extremely impressive, when in person you quickly realize that helping patients is not a priority. I provided multiple MRI scans notes etc upon my first appointment showing an extensive list of injuries, inflammation, and joint degeneration. Extreme pain and not able to use my dominant arm/shoulder for months. 6 months later after jumping through hoops and being told every issue, including a large bone legion, was “no big deal” I got a second opinion. New surgeon immediately scheduled surgery and referred me to an orthopedic oncologist for the large legion. The oncologist ran tests and a bone biopsy which led to a low grade bone cancer diagnosis. I am preparing for a major surgery to have it removed and rebuilt thanks to my wonderful second opinion. Do not waste your time with Dr. Decoons, a surgeon who can ignore a patient in my condition shouldn’t be practicing medicine. Apparently bone cancer is “no big deal” to him.

Does not prioritize patient care
He required 4 PA. He pulled the plug on my surgery which is causing me to suffer because Augusta University Hospital is the only place to get care if you are on limited income
