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.

Dr. Peluso is very rude and snobbish. She removed my gallbladder and a few weeks later I developed an incisional hernia in one of the ports where one of laproscopic instruments was inserted into my abdomen for the gall bladder surgery. Another good surgeon at St. Margaret hospital did the hernia repair. When she called my son to report to him that I was doing well after surgery he asked her a question and she hung up on him. Would not recommend this doctor to anyone.

She is Very Rude and Nasty! Beware! She missed a VERY big issue with a Hernia that she was about to fix! I went to another surgeon and found out I actually needed a Urologist present to fix a secondary Issue!

Great surgeon but was not a good people person! Did not LISTEN to my needs or anything I had to say. Told me I didn't have cancer then in a future visit for an upcoming surgery, I asked about it and she said well you DID but it's gone, we are just going in to get the rest of it now!?!?! Sent me back to work after surgery with no restrictions with an open wound and told me I should not be in the pain I was in.
