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.

Top notch Dr., They don't make them like this anymore. Detailed and an extremely talented surgeon. Too bad hospitals are in poor staffing condition but that is no fault of the hard working people who work there. This Doctor will not miss anything, he personally checks the paperwork and he will find the errors.

I saw Dr Schlaerth as a second opinion for Ovarian cancer surgery October 2016. I do not recommend this doctor to anyone! During my exam he raised his voice to me for information and wanted me to answer questions while undressed and waiting. He invited in training med students for my very private and emotional exam. This was the most devastating doctor appointment I have had. I normally do not post reviews but wanted to save others from a very bad experience.

I have felt so lucky to have Dr. Schlaerth providing my care! He takes the time to explain each situation fully, and to make sure I am aware of and understand all of my options. He is kind and professional, and I never feel like he's taking down to me. His care is excellent, and his concern for the well-being of his patients is clear at all times. I highly recommend Dr. Schlaerth!
