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.

He is the best! He has also treated my family members.

I came to the emergency room at Renown South Meadows early Saturday Am June 9 for a very painful incarcerated hernia. I was admitted at 10:00 AM and very lucky for my Dr. Ganser was the surgeon on call! I was operated on at 2:00 PM and home the next day at 10:00 AM. My personal physician told me he was the best and if any doctor was goin to cut on his belly it would be Dr. Ganser! Definitely the best of the best!

Saw Dr. Ganser for a carcinoid tumor in my lung. Initial exam he spent time with me and explained everything and answered any questions.. In the hospital his bed side manner was wonderful. Saw him again for a post op visit. He has to be one of the most kind, compassionate doctors you would ever meet. I would recommend he and his staff to anyone. He is truly "THE BEST"!

Dr. Ganser is a guardian angel. Everything you would dream of and hope for in a Dr. and surgeon. He's sincere, concise and experienced. He did my 90 year old fathers surgery and it was a great relief knowing he was his Dr. Ironically he was mine also for an appendectomy 2 years ago and was phenomenal. He's the Best!!!
