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'm so lucky that she was my surgeon. I felt really cared for, she updated me and was there to answer all the questions. She did a terrific job and took out this big tumor out of my chest! It's nice to have a woman surgeon, she's the only one I found when I was looking for doctors!I wish all my doctors were like her.

minimally invasive
Went to her because she says robot surgery. Sure enough. My other doc said he'd make a big cut on my chest and I'd be in the hospital for a week. Dr. B did it with the robot with a few half inch cuts, I can't even see them cuz they healed so well. I went home the next morning!! It's such a blessing that I found her. She has great manners. She gave me hope and got me feeling like I could be beat this cancer. And sure enough, my results was good, she took out so many lymphs and all the lung tumur and I don't need no chemo. I'm sticking with her!

Great
She 100% exemplifies what a doctor should be. You don't see doctors like this anymore. She's smart, she cares, and she makes me feel like I'm the most important patient, even though I know she's really busy. I like how she shows me my xrays and she draws it all on a paper and explains it all so I understand it. She called me on my phone a few times to update me and tell me about results so I don't get scared when I see it on my chart.

My dad had a new cancer diagnosis. We met with something like 6 doctors that day. She’s the only one who took time to explain and help us understand everything. Nobody else could tell us what was going on. She gave us answers. She drew it all out on a piece of paper and even shows us his scan and we finally understood. We weren’t even scheduled with her but she made room and fit us in. We had to wait a bit but it was worth it. We left finally understanding what he had and what the next few months would be like. We’d be so lost if we didn’t meet with her. She’s really fantastic.

The best
She is the most caring thoughtful professional physician. She listened to me, I didn't feel rushed, she explained everything very clearly to me and my wife. The surgery went smoothly, and I was home the next day. It was one of the most positive experiences with the healthcare system I've had.
