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.

Excellent! I was experiencing an issue and unfortunately needed a colonoscopy to confirm diagnosis. We began a course of treatment that worked well for me. Everything was very well explained and he was incredibly patient and took his time going over options. I never felt that he had to rush to see another patient.

Dr. Helft played a vital part in saving my father's life who was bleeding internally with hemoglobin of 7 (proper range is 14 to 18); . It was impossible to cauterize the life threatening ulcer in the duodenum (small intestine beyond stomach) that was causing bleeding from an artery. Dr. Helft coordinated a team including a surgeon, radiologist and staff that together blocked the artery that would otherwise caused dad to bleed to death. Dr. Helft and his team of doctors are heroes.
