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.

Routine vasectomy lead to emergency amputation. DON'T DO IT. Use an actual Urologist.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Jansen?
I saw Dr. Jensen for a persistent, chronic painful knot on the back of my head which he said was inflamed skull bone. He said there was nothing he could do and nothing he could recommend. When I expressed my disappointment he said, in an extremely sarcastic tone “Well I can’t remove part of your skull, your brains would fall out!” I have since been told by my doctor and a neurosurgeon that there is no such thing as “inflamed skull bone” as an independent condition. I would never recommend him!
