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.

I am so upset with trying to get an appointment with this surgeon that I was referred to. There staff is the worst I think I have ever? had to deal with. I was referred on 15 January 2021 and I have been trying ever since just to contact their office. If I do get through they don’t know anything and I still don’t have an appointment. I was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma by my dermatologist and I need to have it removed through general surgery according to what she told me but I don’t have any idea how that’s ever going to happen if no one knows anything and can’t even schedule an appointment for me. I am about ready to just accept the cancer? over dealing with these people. All I get are answering machines and no one returns my calls. Really how difficult is that to do? Frustrated to no end.

Staff will not call me back for an appointment. When you have cancer, you would hope the staff would schedule an appointment. I had to find another surgeon.

Dr. Ryan Fields did my surgery for a malignant Pheochromocytoma in 2013 and have followed up with MRI's every 6 months and now on a yearly basis. In May of 2015, I also had a benign liver cyst removed. I was very pleased with Dr. Fields for both procedures and would recommend him to any friend or family member who needed a highly skilled surgeon. Judy Schaaf-Wheeler, Ironton, Missouri

Dr Fields is pleasant, but WAY over emphasizes himself, for example, saying he “has done hundreds of these surgeries” when in reality he hasn’t done any! He has procrastinated on doing a malignant Pheochromocytoma, dragging things out for three & a half months & yet to be scheduled. I’m looking for a competent Adrenal surgeon!

Had a great experience with Dr. Fields last year. He removed cancer from my liver. Now the cancer is back and I am over due for a repeat CT scan. I have called his office 3 times and they won't return my calls. Knowing there is cancer in your body is devastating and to not get calls returned is upsetting. I'll give it another day then I will have to find another surgeon. It's heartbreaking that they do t care about how I'm feeling.
