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.

Awful!!!! Did not read my records, did not answer substantive questions I had but actually laughed and scoffed at me as a typical arrogant doctor. All he did was read the mri tech report from years ago which I can do myself- after I waited a year for an appt!!! Awful!!! Stay far away!!

Dr. Roper is one of the best in his field. He explained the surgery in an easy to understand manner and I breezed through a major surgery due to his expertise.

He is a good doctor but the only problem he has is that he just wants to run out of the office without listening to your questions. Patients are not medical students so pay attention to them and give them the time they deserve.

Dr. Roper is a very caring doctor. He removed my pituitary cyst and visited me when I was hospitalized. He was even willing to discuss with me over the phone regarding my pituitary cyst before I decided to have a surgery. His staff members are also very kind and professional. Thank you so much Dr. Roper.

Dr Roper removed a pituitary tumor and I had no complications, went home the next day. He was straightforward, inspired confidence, and communicated well during the whole process. Shands is the place to go in my opinion.
