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. Dittenhoffer did a tremendous job removing my gallbladder using that method which requires very small cuts. I had very little pain after the surgery and recovered quickly. After my positive experience with Dr. Dittenhoffer, I have recommended him to all of my friends.

Having been operated on by Dr. Dittenhoffer and based on my experience and the post-op results, it is reasonable for me to say that Dr. D is a highly skilled surgeon who happens to have a most pleasant bedside manner. I would highly recommend this surgeon to any of my friends or family looking for a professional surgical opinion.
