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.

Dr. Alston was a great doctor and explained everything he was going to do and let me keep one of my gallstones. Great bedside manner, and if I ever needed a surgeon again I would go with him.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Alston Jr?
He did great work, but with a 20 min out patient procedure with referral from GP. I could not believe the bill. Original bill was over $5400. It was 20 minutes!!! <2.5 cm of stiches after removing 3 lipomas from my arm. I figured for $700-1k total at most before insurance adjustment. Wow, was I wrong.
