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.

Great communicator
My sister recently had surgery, and was extremely pleased, as was the rest of the family, with Dr. Britt's focus, understanding, knowledge and manner in all interactions. He is intelligent, quick, friendly, proficient and puts you at ease. We would recommend Dr. Britt to other patients considering surgery.

Poor listener, dishonest, abuse of power
Dr. Britt seems very nice and I’m sure is skilled at performing surgery. I’m 27 and was dealing with severe acid reflux. They ran the HIDA and it indicated my gallbladder wasn’t working barely at all. I don’t doubt that. I asked on two separate occasions for an endoscopy, and was assured by him very emphatically that after my surgery, my reflux would go away. He assured me that I would be able to eat anything I wanted the day after. I am 6 months out of surgery with the same acid reflux. It was considerably worse until I came to a GI doc in bham. This doc in bham was shocked that an endoscopy hadn’t been done. In my follow up, Dr. Britt asked me how I was doing and as I was trying to say that my reflux was still very painful, he cut me off and assured me that it would completely resolve itself in the coking weeks. He told me whatever he could to make me get the surgery and then refused to listen afterwards. Would absolutely not recommend
