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.

I had a double hernia surgery done by her, and the recovery was much faster with much less pain then I had expected or heard from others having similar surgery. She was also very easy to talk to and she related to her other surgery workers at Kaiser very well. I highly recommend her if you have a choice.
