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.

Great Dr.
Dr. Rimmer really took the time to help me feel comfortable. He explained the procedure, what to expect, and how long to recover. His team also helped me through the procedure as well. I am very thankful for them helping me.

I was having major pain from my gallbladder. I learned it needed to be removed and was worried about the surgery. After speaking with Dr. Rimmer I was comfortable and confident with him doing to procedure. I felt truly cared for and knew he would do whatever was needed to help me feel better. I have had all positive results from my surgery and would highly recommend him to anyone needing gallbladder surgery or any surgery he would perform.

Dr. Rimmer's care for me was beyond excellent. He could not have been more approachable and caring. I was apprehensive about having a lumpectomy. I went in to meet him, anxious, and came out feeling secure, comforted, informed, and hopeful. I felt complete trust in his abilities. He answered my every question until I was completely satisfied. He told me he would shepherd me through this process, and he went beyond my expectations. The surgery was a complete success. The incisions are healing beautifully. I recently had my follow up exam with Dr. Rimmer. He couldn't have been more patient and kind. He explained every single concern I had to my complete satisfaction. I wouldn't send my daughters or family to anyone else. I highly recommend Dr. Rimmer.

I went in for hemorrhoid surgery he removed one. I woke up from hemorrhoid surgery still having hemorrhoids. He explained that the hemorrhoids he left are manageable with desitin cream and use of wet wipes. I’m a 47 year old woman. I don’t think in the year 2019 anyone should have to use messy creams and carry around wet wipes because a surgeon decides he would rather not finish his job! Would not recommend to anyone! If you pay to have them removed... you want them gone!

I have had a hard time finding doctors that I feel actually genuinely care about their patients. Dr. Rimmer listens to your every concern with care and treats his patients and proceedures with the care and precision you would hope for from any dr. He loves what he does and is confident and this is why i would highly reccomend him to anyone needing general surgery. He does beautiful work and is a great person.
