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.

He saved my LIFE
I had internal bleeding and UPMC McKeesport told the ambulance if you dont get him to Mercy RIGHT NOW hes dead.. Garth Elias pulled out all the stops... Hes Super with bedside manner as well.. I should have died.. They had to do exploritory surgery to locate where all the blood was comming from.. Hes a Clinical Professor of Burn and Trauma surgery so that tells you everything you need to know. MERCY AND PRESBY have this guy teaching other surgeons..
