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.

Thank you, Dr. Alrefai
Sigmoidectomy went smoothly. Recovery was easy and quick. I’d definitely recommend Dr. Alrefai for surgical procedures.

Excellent Surgeon!
Dr. Alrefai was an amazing surgeon! He was thoughtful, attentive, and responsive. He was patient and helped me manage my fears about bariatric surgery. He also helped me navigate all the administrative hurdles related to surgery and leave. I would definitely recommend him to anyone considering bariatric or abdominal surgery
