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.

After much testing for anemia, had a colonoscopy on 2/23/16. During this test a mass was found. Dr. advised I should see a surgeon. It was cancer. I chose Dr. Garrovillo for my surgery. His bedside manner and patience with my family was outstanding. My surgery was 2/26/16. Doctor was there everyday while in hospital and would advise,examine and chat. I had no problems with my surgery. Two of my other doctors said how good it looks. No problems. Recommend him highly. Very caring! 5/9/16

I had a routine surgery done by Dr, Garrovillo in 2011. He caused me to have a perforation that he totally ignored, was listed in the medical reports, and ordered me to eat and drink which caused Sepsis to my body. I needed emergency surgery , open from chest to stomach to correct his error. Would not recommend this Doctor to anyone. He treated me with total disrespect and acted like it was my fault that I was in such a bad condition.
