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.

Dr Marines is one of my very favorite doctors. He is compassionate, attentive and forthcoming.

I felt that the Dr really listened to my concerns. I had always felt that there was "no fix" for my issue. However, after speaking with the Dr, I learned that there was a solution! Actually brought me to tears!

Dr. Marines is wonderful if I run into someone who needs any type of colon procedure I will recommend him. I wish I had come here in the first place and that way avoid emergency surgery for a colon perforation and reoperation I underwent with a different provider. It was actually my son and his partner who recommended Dr. Marines and I will spread the word to anyone who needs colon or rectal surgery or a second opinion. Thank you for everything, everybody was so kind above and beyond expectations.

Dr. Marines took exceptional care of me prior to my surgery, during my sigmoid reconnection surgery and after. I have not had any problems and was back to my normal routine a week after surgery.
