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. Uffort Review
Dr. Uffort is the most caring and compassionate doctor I have ever met. He did not rush through my appointment like many doctors do. He took the time and answered all my questions and answered questions I didn’t even think to ask. He is thorough with his explanations. If you need a great surgeon, he is the doctor you need.

Great Surgeon
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Uffort. From the very start, he demonstrated a wonderful bedside manner, putting me at ease during each visit. He took the time to thoroughly explain all my options, making sure I fully understood every aspect of my condition. I never felt rushed or pressured into making a decision, and he was always open to answering any questions I had. What stood out the most was his thoughtful recommendations, which were always presented in a balanced and professional manner. It was clear that he genuinely cared about my well-being, as he prioritized what would be best for me. His compassion and clear communication made the entire process far less stressful, and I felt confident in the care I received.I highly recommend Dr. Uffort for anyone seeking a knowledgeable, kind, and attentive surgeon .

Dr Uffort removed my sons appendix. He kept us well informed and comfortable with the procedure. He really went above and beyond to make sure he answered all of our questions. My 22 year old went to his home understanding all of his aftercare requirements, for a speedy recovery.

Dr. Uffort was able to clearly explain the potential outcomes of the emergency surgery he would perform. He kept me and my family updated on my condition before and after surgery. Dr. Uffort has a great bed side manner and is very personable. I will recommend Dr. Uffort for anyone who is in need of a general surgeon and will seek him in the future if I have a need as well.

I would reccomend Doctor Uffort for your surgical needs. He is an amazing surgeon. He saved my life. My intestine was blocked, and I was septic and coding. He saved my life. Literally. I had some of my small and large intestine and part of colon removed. I am healthy a year later. He cares about his patients. Excellent bedside manner.and will spend time with you during follow up visits.
