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.

The most caring Top Surgeon!
I feel so fortunate to have had my life extended through the incredible efforts of Dr Milsom and his team. Dr Milsom performed 2 major surgeries on me during the last 2 years that literally have saved my life. Dr Milsom spent an incredible amount of time with me and my family to answer all of our questions and to provide all of us with his compassionate caring that makes Dr Milsom so unique.

Dr Milsom saved my life. 10 years ago I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. I met Dr Milsom 4 days after being diagnosed and had my entire colon removed 7 days later. As soon as I met Dr Milsom I knew he was the one I needed to handle my cancer. He was thoughtful, caring and explained things in plain English. I still have the picture he drew when we first met explaining where my cancer was and what the surgery would require. I have seen Dr Milsom for check ups over the last 10 years and he always asks about my family who was by my side when I was diagnosed 10 years ago. Dr Milsom is supported by an amazing team as well. I feel incredibly fortunate to have Dr Milsom as my doctor.
