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.

Both Dr. [...] and Dr. Biehl were very helpful in explaining my situation. I was particularly impressed how Dr. Biehl explained in detail what he thought was happening. Dr. [...] was also very helpful.

I feel like being taken care off by the very best provider. This doctor has been so patient, kind and helpful. I trust him with my life. If it wasn't for his very specialized approach regarding my health problems, which I understand are challenging, I might not be alive by now. Instead, I can do most things healthy people can. Like gardening or hiking, ballroom dancing.

The dr and student were very forthcoming with information, listened to my questions and gave complete and informative answers while also being caring. Dr Biehl gave me a sense of security and it was clear to me that he is a very good doctor who is also someone who really cares about his patients.

A Life Saver!
I can’t say enough about Dr Biehl. He is amazing. I had pancreatic cancer and Dr Biehl performed a whipple procedure. He explained the procedure in clear, understandable terms. Being older, and having never had surgery before, I was very nervous. Dr Biehl was very reassuring. Recovery has been smooth because I followed his post surgery instructions. I trust him implicitly. Thank you Dr Biehl!!

He saved my husband’s life. Was able to take a tumor out the size of a softball that had invaded some very crucial places of his body. Dr.Biehl is nothing short of a miracle worker with the utmost humility. I can’t put into words how much admiration and respect I have for him.

After first consultation, was 100% confident in Dr. Biehl. Comfortable demeanor and his experience was obvious in his explanations and answers to questions. Met again before surgery and I was reassured I was in good hands. Checked with me about any other concerns. Surgery went well. Thank you.

I went to the Emergency Room of Virginia Mason suffering severe abdominal pain. The diagnosis was complicated diverticulosis, and I was fortunate that Dr. Biehl was on ER call and became my surgeon. He first attempted to cure my diverticulosis non-surgically, but that procedure was not completely successful. He then recommended surgery and scheduled appointments to facilitate my travel from Anacortes. Surgery was completed a week ago, and I am well on the way to full recovery. GREAT doctor.

Dr. Biehl has wonderful bedside manner. He was easy to talk to and made myself and my family comfortable discussing the major surgery that I required. I couldn't have asked for a better experience before, during, and after my surgery.
