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.

Dr. Templin is not a warm communicator and the last two time I saw him he seemed in a hurry. Everything else was great.

Surgeon took time to fully discuss issue before being honest enough to say they did not feel comfortable in helping me further, then set up a test to better diagnose issue along with a referral to a surgeon (of different speciality) that had more familiarity to treat problem.

Dr Templin performed surgerynon me to remove an esophageal duplication cysts. Him and his staff were wonderful! The whole time he was honest, clear and I felt like he took the time to make sure I understood everything. I didn't feel like I was talking to a Dr but rather just a normal human lol! Sarah the RN surgery Navigator was also so sweet and kind and I never felt like a bother reaching out with questions! I also wanted to mention the receptionist Ty who I worked with a few times when I would call in and schedule appointments. It was a great experience. The staff at St Josephs wS truly amazing ad well. Kaleb the anesthesiologist was super funny and I felt to calm and not scared. When I woke up Tina in recovery was like a mother keeping me safe and I am so appreciative! I had Justin and Xian lam as my Nurses while I stayed and recovered and they were so kind. I felt sad leaving lol!!! Any way would 1000% reccomend this Dr and hospital!
