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 health was destroyed by a fluroquinolone
I am giving Dr. Hrebinko 4 stars because I don't think it is fair for medical professionals, who put in a rigorous week at work, to be target practice, unless they deserve it. He was friendly and wanted to help. Unfortunately, the drug prescribed for my urethritis was a 90 day regimen of Ciprofloxacin, a fluoriquinolone which received the FDAs a stern BLACK BOX warning . I suffered a crippling (and I don't use that word lightly) injury in 1999 whilst on the drug, a nearly complete tear of a lumbar tendon in my back. It took 7 years to heal. In 2011 I began having 5 day relapses which reduced my mobility to near zero. I was able to fully recover from these brief relapses but was always in danger of triggering a new one anywhere, anytime. In 2017 Karl Bushman, MD, began prescribing me low dose oxycodone which has been a life saver, literally, as i was able to escape a fire in the building. On 3 11 25 I suffered the worst relapse of my life and have not fully recovered.

Dr. Hrebinko operated on my brother for kidney cancer 7 years ago and my brother is still cancer free. When I was diagnosed with kidney cancer, I wanted only Dr. Hrebinko to operate on me. Even though I am a Professor at UCLA Medical Center and there are many fine surgeons there, I flew to Pittsburgh to have Dr. Hrebinko operate on me. I was not disappointed. He is a fantastic surgeon, as well as a wonderful human being. I just can't thank him enough for saving my brother's and my life!
