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.

Impressive Doctor
We could not have been more impressed with Dr. Scott Johnson. While he was confident he could successfully perform my mom's surgery, just in case of complication he recommended a colleague and team at Houston MD Anderson to perform her surgery. Her surgery went well. Dr. Johnson is extremely knowledgable and direct. He thoroughly researched my mom's case prior to our appointments and gave clear information in a caring way.

Dr. Johnson
Explained procedures thoroughly, after-care excellent. Stepped up when my Oncologist left for another job. Has a great team that works with him. I had friends and family that didn't expect me to live a year. End result is that he cured my esophageal cancer and I have been cancer-free since 2014. Doctor saved my life.
