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.

Terrible Physician
He did no testing and told me there is nothing wrong with me in spite of sudden abdominal pain. I saw another doctor and immediately underwent emergency surgery. Do not trust this lazy doctor if you value your life.

Dr. Cornnell has earned my respect, and trust because he listens to what his patients tell him. I have had a colonoscopy with him and he makes it an easy thing. He's humble, and personable, and warm. He's not quick with a diagnosis, but reads his patients history before coming to a conclusion. He has over 30 years experience in the Gastrointestinal medical field which helps him zero in on any problem. I have utmost faith in his abilities and would highly recommend him to those in need of a good and honest doctor. His staff are also warm, conscientious, and understanding with his patients so a person will feel comfortable in what is an understandably challenging procedure.

I was told by another gastroenterologist that told me to go home with my UC and get used to it. That would be my future. Decided to get second opinion and saw this doctor on an advertisement on TV. Went to him 10 years ago and yes I still have UC but am and have been in remission since 120 days after seeing him. Incredible Doctor, would recommend him to anyone. Very thorough.

PERSONALLY, WOULD NOT TAKE MY CAT TO THE MAN., not to mention being ill-mannered, [realize THAT has nothing to do with his medical ability, but I had to go to a different doctor to get my stomach problem corrected, , after he said I did NOT have a problem, and he did not want to see me again, Definitely goes both ways....
