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.

Sucks at dealing with patient issues and answering questions. Seems really grumpy

Difficult to communicate with, let alone being outright rude. This results in disorganized communication with physical therapists. He gives little information on what his surgery accomplishes, or is intended to. There is no reason for a physician to have this attitude toward a patient. Nevertheless he is a skilled surgeon.

Dr Bass’s work exceeded my expectations. He completed my plastic surgery request and left me with completely natural looking results. I will go back to him for any other procedure. I trusted him with my face and he did not disappoint. He is a skilled, professional doctor.

I cant and wont understand how anyone can give Dr. David Bass anything but 5 stars. He is very professional. Very passionate and his work is simply amazing. You cant ask for anything more. His truly cares about his work. I personally had 2 surgeries with him and would recommend him until he retires. I'm very happy with his quality of work. Thank you. 2019 was a good year for me and this I owe to Dr. David Bass.
