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.

The doctor was too busy answering calls.
I received a call from the Dr's office saying the Dr has reviewed my file and will take my case. My appointment was 1 month later. After waiting over an hour, he came in. After a minute, he received a call and left the room. After he returned, he began to tell me he couldn't help me. Then he received a call and left again. That's twice in a very short period of time. I don't believe the doctor was mentally present. I also think this doctor knew from the beginning that he couldn't help me and only saw me to bill the insurance. I find all these 5 star reviews suspicious because he left the room 2 times during my appointment, making me feel like I was of no priority to him except to bill my insurance. If he knows he lacks the ability and experience to help me, then why have his people call me saying he will take my case?

Fantastic colon doctor
I was referred to Dr. Zhang who performed by 5 year colonoscopy. He is very professional, personable, patient and knowledgeable. He made me feel very comfortable and at ease at my initial doctor appointments and when he performed my surgery which went very smoothly. I highly recommend him.

I was referred to Dr Zhang with a very painful condition, he was very understanding of my fears and my problem, He takes time to comfortably talk with me during each visit. Dr Zhang went over everything kindly and patiently. I after the very first visit felt very comfortable with him. He treated my health issue and I have relief, I'm thankful that I found Dr Zhang.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Ren Yu Zhang! Your passion and love for proctology is absolutely miraculous! I’m so very pleased with your work and extremely grateful for you. After 2+ years of dealing with the fistula I can finally say this chapter of my life may be behind me, God willing. Thank you for your dedication to the craft. It’s not often you find a doctor that truly cares for his patients. You were there for me every step of the way and I will continue to be an advocate for your profession and this disease. I absolutely recommend Dr. Ren Yu Zhang. He’s the best in the state of Nevada and maybe the country.

Excellent Doctor
Dr Zhang is absolutely incredible and I feel very fortunate and grateful to have been referred to him for an oversize polyp. He was very open and friendly during the initial visit where he unhurriedly took the time to get to know me and explain options. Being uncomfortable with idea of surgery, he suggested an initial non-surgical approach then provided a direct number to call him if I had any additional concerns or questions. He took his time during the procedure (almost an hour) and skillfully removed the polyp eliminating any need for surgery. I would not hesitate for a moment in recommending Dr Zhang to anyone needing his specialty. He is a fantastic doctor and surgeon who is not only very skilled and knowledgeable but exhibits a warm, friendly demeanor and who truly cares about his patients

Dr. Ren Zhang is an OUTSTANDING colorectal surgeon! As a fellow physician I can state that he is highly regarded...and he was terrific for the complete evaluation and treatment of my own + Fecal Occult Blood Colon-Cancer screening test, followed by my + Colo-guard advanced screen. I am particularly high-risk for intestinal perforation due to prior surgeries and he just did a phenomenal job at my high-risk colonoscopy last week which yielded three polyps with absolutely no adverse effects at all--not even any pain or cramping. Moreover, he took the time to make a personal call to review my pathology results--which were benign. Surgeons often have a reputation for being rather cold and aloof, but Dr. Zhang is not only highly professional and knowledgeable--he is genuinely concerned and kind. I Highly Recommended him to everyone. Garry R. Lee, MD

I want to thank Dr Zhang and his staff for the absolute amazing treatment they gave to my Mother during her surgery. This was a nerve-wracking moment for her and all of us and even though we couldnt visit her after the surgery during recovery due to COVID he treated her so good that she couldnt stop complimenting him and his staff which made all of us feel better. The surgery was a huge success and because the way Dr Zhang treats his patients he needs to be commended. From my Mother, my family and myself we all say thank you. God bless.

There are not enough doctors like Dr. Zhang, and words cannot express how wonderful, knowledgeable and attentive he is, as well as his team! He goes above and beyond to explain your health predicament; how he will treat it, and to ease your worries. His bedside manner is equal to none! He gives out his personal cell phone number so you can check in with concerns. He gets back to you either immediately or within 1-2 hours. After my surgery, he showed up everyday at the hospital with a big smile on his face, always concerned that I was feeling comfortable and being treated properly by hospital staff; and always eased my concerns. Dr. Zhang truly is an ANGEL walking this Earth! He REALLY listens, remembers you as a person and shows genuine care and compassion. He is truthful and lays out all the risks. More doctors should take note of what he’s doing-his empathy and follow suit! Thank you Dr. Zhang for being so INCREDIBLE, KNOWLEDGE, SKILLED, CARING, and COMPASSIONATE!
