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.

My husband had an emergent case of diverticulitis and upon imaging we discovered the colon to be Perforated and infected
Dr Claiborne had to perform an emergent colectomy and 3 months later just performed the reversal (anastamosis procedure ). I cannot say enough about Dr. Claiborne he saved my husbands life and gave his life back to him if that makes sense ! He is thorough .… he genuinely cares! I highly recommend him!
