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.

After 2 miscarriages at 8 weeks each time, Dr. Bourgeous looked into every possible reason for them and ways to prevent it from happening again. He removed 3 polyps from my uterus and we had a healthy pregnancy immediately after. He was reassuring when my induction turned into an urgent c-section as well.

I went in having years of extreme pain, clotting and very heavy periods that have kept me from even living a normal lifestyle while occurring. My mom had almost passed of ovarian cancer, so I wanted to get answers for my painful cycles to be precautionary. My ultrasound that was ordered had even showed some abnormal tissue on my left ovary. When I came in to see him, he immediately down played the pain I was experiencing and kept asking why I’m not on birth control. (My fiancé and I hope to start a family in the next year) After trying to explain myself and my reasoning for my concerns with birth control being a temporary fix to something I still had no answers to, he said what I’m dealing with is “no big deal” and there’s no reason for concern- this was BEFORE he even performed the actual exam. I was never tested for endometriosis (that cannot be detected in an ultrasound), no conversation of other possibilities, nothing else. He ended with, my only option is birth control.

Dr. Bourgeous has always been great! My concern is with his nurse. When doctor Burgeous was pulled away for an emergency surgery (understandable), his nurse left me in the office for an hour undressed from the waist down waiting. I had to call the front desk from my cell phone because she clearly forgot about me. When she came to see me, she was rude and defensive. I got dressed and walked out. How horrible that she couldn't even check in on me!

Absolutely terrible. If I could leave a 0 star for this doctor I would. I went in for a cyst and be stated he'd pop it and wouldn't send any tests in. Shortly after I rcvd a large bill for tests that I never consented to and now the doctors office is stating I am liable for them because he recalls a conversation advising he was testing me on them. There is no proof in medical documents to prove this either. This man is unethical and not trustworthy. Avoid at all costs.
