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.

Very satified
His explanation of the procedure was thorough and easy to understand. He and his staff were professional but good natured. discomfort while the procedure was being done never went past a 2 on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst. Would definitely recommend him.

Authentic torture experience. Learning that my biopsy results showed that I have a terminal illness was a more positive experience than the biopsy. Was very clear with him that whatever topical numbing agent they used had no effect on me & he didn’t care. Zero compassion. Also gave me incorrect information regarding the form of cancer I have. Choose anyone else if you can.

The best dr. I have ever had. He has excellent bedside manners, very reassuring. Very highly skilled. He's through, explains things on the patients level, takes As much time as needed with his patients, never rushing you. His staff are equally as professional and wonderful. I believe he is the best Dr. In the entire Pacific Northwest.
