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.

Highly recommended!
This surgeon listens and takes the time to answer your questions. I heard from someone else Dr. dishingder knows what he's doing. Dr. Dishingder did surgery on my colon and I was very peaceful knowing I was in good hands. Thank you Dr. Dishingder for giving me better health.

Not very nice.
Not only did he have a lack of bedside manor, but he went out of his way to be mean. Told my wife in post opinion that they messed up during the surgery but never told us what. Had to have surgery to fix the issue from them 2.5 years later. Please do not use this Dr. There are a lot of other great docs that will take good care of you.

Dr. Dishinger did a great job explaining my surgery. I was very thankful he was there when he was for an emergency appendicitis. I felt very comfortable and safe in his care.
