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.

Fortunate to have met Dr. Bem
I had emergency surgery on NYE 2024 and I was so very fortunate that Dr. Bem was working and did the surgery. I was terrified as I had never had a surgery before. When I returned post op appt Dr. Bem spent a tremendous amount of time answering all my questions and concerns. I was extremely anxious and he allayed my fears and agreed to do my first colonoscopy six weeks later and he gave great guidance and advice. I am indebted to this extremely accomplished doctor and very grateful for his expertise and experience.

Dr. Bem is THE BEST
Dr. Bem saved my life in 2018 & I’m so lucky to have him as my doctor again now. He’s beyond knowledgeable and very kind. Where other doctors have told me to just get used to the pain and all that comes with ulcers & Crohn’s he’s given me hope. I recommend him to everyone who needs his specialty. Also, his staff is knowledgeable, friendly & caring as well.

Absolutely amazing. He is not only caring with your health issues but cares about getting to know his patient personally to. When no one else believed I was telling the truth about my health problems he did and he came up with a solution instead of telling me to wait like all the others did. I would recommend him to anyone.
