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 experience with Dr. Holloway and staff was excellent. In Oct. 2005 had surgery for ovarian cancer stage 2. Surgery was 3 weeks after first appointment, started chemo 2 weeks later. Full recovery, no complaints.

Worst ever
A good doctor knows what they don't know and follows recommended guidelines. Holloway did neither. Green dye ring a bell. Ladies robotic surgeries do not allow for adequate visualization to capture full margins! A year after my sisters hysterectomy she had another surgery where they removed a piece that was still stained from the year before. You left cancer behind and pulled it out like jello in a fan and then you put her on estrogen!!!

Compassion
Dr Holloway's does not support sexual and gender diversity and his words and actions are harmful and distressing.  I received different and unfair treatment based on my sexual orientation and gender identity. I feel this needs to be said because everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and compassion.

My first OBGYN immediately determined that I needed a total hysterectomy with an abdominal incision which worried me as I had never had surgery before let alone a cut in my abdomen! She was so cut and dry and gave me no other options! So I went for a second opinion and that OBGYN referred me to Dr. Holloway as she felt that if my tumor happen to be cancerous while she performed my surgery then she felt better if I went to a surgeon who specialized in cancer and can take care of all my needs. I went to Dr. Holloway and unfortunately I did need total hysterectomy, BUT he gave me another option which was a robotic laparoscopic vaginal surgery. He was so confident he can perform the surgery with out the abdominal incision that he made me feel good and happy. I went ahead with the surgery and all went excellent. I am very pleased and would highly recommend him he is a great surgeon who is confident in his work.

The Best!!! He saved my life. Almost three years ago I was sent to him with Stage 4 ovarian cancer, which had traveled to my colon. Since I had such a serious problem and was 77 years old, I’ve been told that most doctors would have just prescribed chemo (to buy a little more time) - but Dr. Holloway was willing to perform a MAJOR surgery, which, literally, saved my life. I have complete confidence in him and his abilities.

I was referred to Dr. Holloway by another Ob Gyn who was unable to adequately diagnose or explain my condition. Dr. Holloway immediately understood the problem and outlined to me what my options were. He also recommended waiting to find out if I needed surgery. In the end, no surgery was performed. I appreciate a doctor who has the experience to define and prescribe for a medical condition and who doesn't just rush you into surgery like my first doctor wanted to do. His staff is outstanding as well.

I have nothing good to say about this doctor. Out of all my exams he did something odd one visit that I've never been able to shake. No other doctor had ever done that. Regardless if it was medically needed, warning or asking is what should have been done! I was so uncomfortable. I was 20something, fighting for my life. It's hard to speak up Every visit his answer was hysterectomy. My answer was always no. I said I was leaving the hospital with everything I came in with, minus the cancer. And I did just that. I was told I would never have kids (by other doctors too) And I have a beautiful almost two year old daughter. Who would never have been possible, if I took his strong recommendation of hysterectomy. He just wanted to do the fastest fix to me, when chemo was proven to beat it. My cancer reacted very well to chemo. He has horrible bedside manners. I'm the one that had cancer, if I want to make light of things, do not shame me for it! That's what helps beats cancer, being positive.

What can you say about a person who has saved your life? There is not a superlative that would describe how grateful I am to Dr. Holloway for the outstanding treatment he has provided. I know most people go in to a doctor's office expecting the TV personification of what a doctor should be. I am so glad Dr. Holloway is not Marcus Welby or Ben Casey ( I'm a baby boomer). I am glad he is his own person. I appreciate his honesty and I trust his knowledge.

I’m 37 years old with 2 young children and have not clue what a gynecologial cancer follow should be and I think that’s unfair.. especially they say a small cancer can be our Demise.. I’m starting an uprise for all us gals that have no direction after somthinso hard and we get forgotten about!!

Excellent experience with Dr. Holloway and his office staff. Everyone was friendly and professional; Dr. Holloway took his time with exam, review of records, and explained my situation and the surgical procedure fully. Would highly recommend Dr. Holloway and his expertise with the DaVinci robotic surgical procedures.
