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.

Horrific doctor - beware
I’ve never been spoken to so rudely, and I’ve never been as dismissed as I was, with this doctor. Cried after the appointment and felt extremely hopeless until I spoke to several other doctors and another colorectal surgeon who assured me what this Dr said was ridiculous. Spare yourself the trouble if you can and find someone else. There was a reason I could get an appointment with her almost immediately.

"Rude, didn't listen, made assumptions, too fast, DID NOT LISTEN or HEAR what I was saying. Awful experience."
