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.

Excellent Dr.
Dr is informative, helpful and kind. Great surgeon and a well run office. I couldn’t be happier to have him for a Dr! Also, they will get you in quickly if necessary.

This Dr was great with one huge exception. He disobeyed my request to test my samples for a very specific bacteria while performing a colonoscopy in January of 2021. This bacteria may have been responsible for causing my Crohn's Disease, and I was exposed to it from a product that has since been recalled. Furthermore, class action lawsuits have developed in response to the recall, but I am ineligible to join them, because they want a lab sample showing presence of said bacteria. His disdain and ignorance for a strong concern I shared with him now precludes me from the compensation I deserve.

I was having serious issues in the “exit only” orifice. An ER physician at St Mary Mercy squeezed the hemorrhoid putting me in agonizing pain and he didn’t even give me any pain meds. I cried my eyes out with my wife holding my head and hand. Dr Drelichman got me in relatively quickly to get it removed. Recovery took a week(ish). But it was worth it. Two years later, no recurrence and I cannot thank him enough for his skill and compassion considering the sensitivity of the subject

I'm not sure if this will ever get back to Dr. Drelichman. I wanted to leave a review and tell everyone about how great of a surgeon he is! In 2009, I was 23 years old, scared to death and fighting for my life from a very sick mega colon. He worked a miracle on me saved my life! August will be 10 years since my ileostomy surgery and I am blessed to still be able to write this today! I wanted to thank him again! I was at UAB for over a month after surgery in ICU from pneumonia after surgery. I hope this gets to him! Heart felt thank you again Dr. Drelichman! Jason Walsh, ileostomy.

Had a colonoscopy to rule out recurrent colorectal surgery almost 2 weeks ago and have yet to have him call with the results even though he said he would call within 2 days and that he was highly suspicious of recurrence. They are terrible at Providence. No one returns phone calls or follows up. Don't go there!

I would have to write pages to say everything good I could about this man. He is by far the best doctor I've ever dealt with and I have seen far too many with my health issues over the past 10 years. His knowledge, the way he explains things, his bedside manner, his availability when you need to reach him after hours....it's all top notch. I refer everyone to Dr. Dre and call him an angel because I believe he is. He cares. I believe he saved my life. Brandi Lindvall, j pouch, UC
