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 prefer to see dr Samuel’s but the office will cancel my appointment every time. At the last minute. They want me to see someone else in the office. Their scheduling practices are horrible I will make another appointment and maybe I’ll see dr Samuel’s

Dr. Samuel is a one of a kind physician! He is extremely competent with excellent communication skills and has a wonderful bedside manner. He tested, diagnosed and helped my 18 year old son get his life back so he could start his college golf journey with the necessary dietary information/medicine to feel profoundly better. We are grateful that Dr. Samuel is in our area, excellent doctors are hard to find. You can’t find anyone more on top of their game in his field!!

Terrible. I would prefer to not give him even one star. Would not recommend him to anyone. He was rude and dismissive to questions and would not take time to talk with my family member.

I went to two other doctors who did not diagnose me correctly. Dr. Samuels called to give me the results of a test I had taken with another doctor. I told him about an issue I have been having for years. He was able to correctly diagnose my issue in just a phone conversation. He takes the time to listen and truly shows concern for you. His nurse and office staff are friendly. I am so thankful for Dr Samuels.

I had a great experience with Dr. Samuel and am so glad he is my GI doctor. I have seen many doctors and had not found one I felt comfortable with. Staff is friendly and helpful. Dr. Samuel explains everything and takes the time to listen to all concerns and answered all questions. Very prompt with his time as well. Highly recommend to all family and friends.

Dr Samuel is an outstanding physician. He is kind, looks you in the eye when he talks to you and I NEVER felt uncomfortable. Dr. Samuel took his time and explained everything to me and my husband and we never felt rushed. In todays medicine that is an anomaly and I truly appreciate his knowledge and willingness to care for others.

Dr Samuel saw me while I was admitted to Rio Grande for severe vomiting. At the very first conversation, I knew that he had a lot of confidence and clarity. He took time to explain to me, in great detail, about the swallowing mechanism and the treatments that are available for my problem. The very next day he did my endoscopy, and fixed my issues completely. I can now eat everything, and life has completely turned around to normal for me. He is a blessing to the valley. Highly recommended.
