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.

Complete gastrectomy
Dr. Kays has been so kind and up front with my husband about his prognosis. He thoroughly explained the procedure and showed so much kindness during the process, he was very reassuring and even after a long hard surgery took the time to hug me as I shed tears of relief. This is one of the most intelligent people I’ve met in my life and has been a god send to our family during this cancer diagnosis. He saved my husband’s life and I will forever be greatful.
