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.

Started off promising, disappointing ended
Sought out treatment for internal hemorrhoid's in late 2022. Found her through google search. At first, the service was great. Bedside manner was excellent. Her NP was ok. Post surgery I experienced complications, including an emergency transport to the hospital due to quite a bit of blood loss. From that point, everything changed. I felt abandoned; post surgery problems were (and still are) present. Post surgery checkup was very awkward to say the least. It was a cold, standoffish feeling. I felt as if the checkup was like a 'I'm just here to get this over with' vibe from her. I made several appointments throughout 2023 due to the problems still being present, but never saw her. Her NP tried to help, and although we started off on a bad first meeting, I was thankful for her attempt in helping. Now, in present day 2024, I'm still experiencing problems and will be looking for a new doctor for help. This is the experience that I had with her, and for future patients I hope its different.

Exceptional
Dr Knoche was professional and kind. I didn’t feel like a number, but a person. Although she was super busy, she took the time to come by a couple of times before the procedure to check on questions or concerns. She was awesome!

Great Team
Dr. Knoche explained everything thoroughly during our consultation. She went through pre surgery, the actual surgery and post surgery. Her office always responded promptly to questions I sent in thru their patient portal. No complaints therefore 5 stars.

Excellent physician. Would certainly recommend her
She is a very caring physician. She made me feel so much better about my problem. She did not rush me and explained everything while examining me. I am so happy that she is willing to help make me better. I would highly recommend her to my friends. Staff were also excellent.

Patient
Compassionate, caring, and helpful from the staff to Dr. Knoche. The staff, Lisa, Karen, and Alissa, the nurse, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and that we were taken care of. Dr. Knoche listen to us by listening to our questions, comments and concerns. Then she explained everything to us so that we could get a better understanding of what we were facing.

First Appointment Went Well
The Dr. was personable and knowledgeable. She sorted through a rambling explanation of my history, did an exam and devised a plan. I left with the answers that I needed. Next, an upcoming hospital visit.
