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.

Rapeo during surgery
I went in for hernia surgery to have a hernia patch removed because Good Sam Hospital Staff stated there was an infection between it and my body. Before surgery on June 8 2023, the nurse told me to urinate so they did not have to use a catheter. I replied, thanks I dont like them and I dont want one. The anatheseoogist Mathew Markeson stated they were going to cut my face up before knocking me out. When I woke up they told me I would have bleeding in my urinary tract. This lasted for three months. The pain in my penus was horrible. I had brusing on my kidney area, I have now diabetes and other ailments going on. HE destroyed my reproductive system. He added three more patches instead. This man shoved something up my personal area and when I called the cops they ignore me. DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO PUT YOUR MECIAL ON MY CHART. YOU HAVE ZERO PRIVACY. Eugene Cho should be in prions for what he did as I have an audio recording showing discussion to prove it. Attorneys refuse to address it.

Doctor talked so fast it was a little hard to follow all that he said. But he seemed knowledgeable and caring - just hard to comprehend everything so quickly.

Dr. Cho performed an emergency small intestine reconstruction surgery on me in December 2018. I am convinced he and Dr. Swedler from St. Francis saved my life. My family had been told there was a significant chance I wouldn't survive. When I met Dr. Cho after surgery, I found him to be very caring. In the times I saw him following surgery, I came to feel he must be a kind, gentle soul. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
