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.

He has zero bedside manner.I saw him for gastric band. I throughly vetted him& believed he was a respected doc.In recovery he matter of fact told my husband &myself that I had cirrhosis of the liver.I don't even drink&no other doc has ever expressed concerns about my liver. I routinely have blood tests every6months.I followed his post surg diet&instructions&faithfully went for monthly appts but I lost only 10 lbs in 6 months.His response was to push appetite suppressants on me.He is the worst.

My wife had a gastric sleeve performed by Dr. Von Rueden. 6 months later she was diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer. After going through treatments, she had 2 bouts of pancreantitis. Dr. Von Rueden claimed it was caused by her gall bladder, even though doctors at UMD said it wasn't. After a 9 day stay in the hospital and assuring my wife that it was not cancer, he removed her gall bladder. A week later, he informed my wife that she had pancreatic cancer. She died Feb. 18 2013.
