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.

Dr. Honer has performed at least two colonoscopy's on me and I was favorably impressed with his professionalism and thorough reports. . . (I have already recommended him to some friends that were in need of this service).

Dr. Honer is actually my 23 year old son's Dr. so I have never met him but he has been little to no help with my son's severe health condition. Since first seeing him about a year ago he has prescribed two medications that were outrageous in price, the last one being $20,000 for the first month. The nurse knowing his insurance wouldn't pay for it still sent it to the pharmacy and knwoing my son did not pay for a 20K prescription the Dr. office has not attempted to help him in any other way. Also knowing that at last visit my usually 185lb son was only 113lb at 5'10". Looks like we will find a doctor that actually cares about their patients.

This is the worst doctor ever, he perform surgery on a ventral hernia, he left the mesh from the old one inside, and the mesh he put on me was too small and came right off. I complained to him several times about it, and all he kept saying was that it was fine, it was going to take six months to heal. Two after I ended in the hospital with an obstrution on my intestines, went to see another surgeon, he removed the two mesh, and reconstructed everything. I'm all good, and will be able to live a n

The staff was exceptional, friendly while still being professional, and most of all their overall attitude was phenomenal. Dr. Honer was professional along with friendly and the first doctor to make me feel like there was something else wrong, (besides what I was being treated for.) He was right and my surgery is Friday with another doctor who I also like. I thank them all for trusting me, which allowed me to trust them.
