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.

This dr has the worst bedside manner. I hope his mother gets treated as bad as he did with my mom.

One of the best Drs I know. He may not be fluffy and cuddly but gives it to you straight. I had a scope done by him and he did an excellent job

I just went in for Endoscopy. Was very disappointed by the lack of any engagement from Dr Esker. The nurse asked me if I had questions and I said yes I have concerns and he didn't even turn around and look at me and he didn't say anything to me or come over or engage with me either before or after the procedure. There was cause for biopsies, gastritis and bleeding and he didnt give me the courtesy of even 2 minutes. I have very low confidence in his attention to detail.
