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.

I cannot say enough about Dr. . Hodin. I was given a very different prognosis by another doctor at another institution. I went to Dr. Hodin for a second opinion, and I am so happy I did. He is very informative, caring and a truly wonderful surgeon. I am two weeks post op from colon surgery, I am feeling great and I owe it all to Dr. Hodin. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a colon-rectal sureon. He is truly a remarkable surgeon.

I would recommend Dr. Hodin to anyone needing surgery. I had multiple procedures performed by Dr. Hodin and had great outcomes in each. He is honest, straightforward, very responsive and most importantly a very good and caring doctor.

I recently had thyroid surgery with Dr Hodin. His caring, relaxed demeanor, made the experience much easier.I found him to be very informative, listening to ALL my questions, never feeling rushed, and explaining it in terms I could understand, The clinical staff was great as well. I also give a big THANK YOU, to his assistant Kristen, who was on top of all the paperwork, and so easy to work with, when questions came up. I could not have been in better hands !!!!

Dr. Hodin performed my thyroidectomy in September of 2016. The operation was very smooth and three hours after its end i was on my way home. Dr. Hodin was extremely professional and nice throughout the experience, along with the rest of his staff.
