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.

Uninformed rush
I was 3 weeks postpartum with 2 thrombosed hemorrhoids. I was told that they could “take of them” and I’d be “better by the weekend.” The procedure was extremely painful and basically traumatic, and as I was crying and having a very hard time, I wasn’t offered a tissue or any real help. I was in agony and I got a pat on the shoulder and advice to get home and take some pain meds. I was not functional for 2 whole days and minimally functional for a week. 3 weeks out and I’m still in pain, but it’s manageable. I really wish I had just dealt with the hemorrhoids. Luckily my husband was able to take off and my family helped with my newborn and 2 other kids. I feel like the pros and cons were not adequately reviewed with me and I was not fully informed on the procedure beforehand. THEN, I waited an hour before I had to remind him I was there just to be seen for the 2 minute follow up. The staff apologized for the wait, but not a word from Dr. Jessen. I honestly felt like a number to him.

review of Mark Jessen, M.D.
excellent service, even of he remarked to his nurses, "remind me to never again operate on a person with polycythemia." He did a great job in his herniorraphy on my left inguinal hernia using mesh.
