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 job!
Dr. Bush is the best. He was able to save my uterus and take out the fibroid with small incisions. Others wanted to cut me open or do a hysterectomy.

Angry that I wanted a blood alternative
I have autoimmune issues and MCAS. In the months leading up to my surgery, I experienced relatively severe flares and had concerns about the possibility of needing a blood transfusion. I worked with the hospital prior to admission to confirm that alternative products would be available if necessary. Dr. Bush did not respond to messaging from the hospital’s alternative blood coordinator, which were sent several days prior to surgery. When he learned of my preference on the day of the surgery, he appeared agitated and angry, asking me if I wanted to die and if my choice was based on religious beliefs. This occurred after sedation had already been administered. No one wants to risk their life during surgery, but a patient's medical preferences should be respected when possible. His reaction was unprofessional and upsetting. Thankfully, no blood transfusion was needed. This was my 2nd ovary removal, and 1st robotic surgery. The robotic procedure left a bigger scar than the first surgery.

Back on my feet
Dr. Bush is the calmest most caring doctor I have seen. I was so nervous after my other doctor told me I had stage 4 ovarian cancer, Dr. Bush told me what was going to happen and got it started quickly. Now I’ve had chemo and surgery and my scans are clear. Still long road ahead but I’m optimistic. Everyone in waiting room speaks so highly of him as well.

Very strange When the female doing a pap smear and pelvic exam pushes on your stomach in the general area of where one would give a The Heimlich maneuver and bypasses your uterus by 7 inches Then walks out with the other women to walk back in because they forgot to wash their hands I call that Odd.
