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.

Everyone was very polite and helpful

He did surgery on my left thigh in August 2014 and sent me back to work at a coal mine with a hole in my leg. He told me that another doctor might look at it , but he was tired of fooling with me.

Don't go to him. He will perform unnecessary surgery on you. I went to him for a hernia on my left side and he said I needed both sides done even though I had no pain on that side. Now the good side hurts as well a the bad side.

Dr. Killmer is a wonderful surgeon. He explained everything about my breast cancer ( as I knew little more than nothing ) , he explained all about the surgery and follow up. The surgery went extremely well as did my recovery in spite of other medical problems that I have. I would highly recommend Dr. Killmer to ANYONE !

I have been to Dr. Killmer for numerous procedures ranging from colonoscopies to a Thyroidectomy. He has always been caring and professional and provides exceptional service. I believe they saved my life by identifying an extremely serious condition with my esophagus and referring me for further treatment. Dr. Killmer will always be my go to physician for general surgical procedures.
