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.

Wonderful . Completely saved my husband’s life -he’s done 4 surgeries (1 being an emergency ) on him. We are so blessed to have Dr Stanley in Chattanooga.

Dr. Stanley and staff were helpful and considerate. He found my problem quickly and offered to fix it right then. He explained what he would do and how much discomfort it would cause. I assented. He did the procedure and the problem was fixed. Knowledgeable and communicative. A good doctor.

I've had several visits to see Dr. Stanley. I refuse to go back. They weigh you in a room adjacent to the waiting room without closing the door. The patients in the waiting room can hear everything said. Yesterday, when I went back, I asked the nurse not to say my weight as I turned around backwards on the scale. She laughed as she blurted out my weight. I was upset and asked her why she did that? She said oops, sorry. Not acceptable. I told Dr. Stanley on my first visit and he said it wouldn't happen again. For me, it's a violation of my privacy.

Best surgeon ever!!! He saved my life. Very caring. I'll never forget the day I was dismissed from the hospital, Dr Stanley brought his son in to let me know that he was praying for me. Thanks be to God, Dr. Stanley and his son I am still living and healthy!!!

Dr Stanley has completed two surgeries on me in the last three months. One to remove a tumor and the second to reverse the illistomy. You could not have a better more qualified or caring surgeon.
