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.

Rude and Wrong Do not Recommend
She is grating and abrasive with her almost interrogational questioning style. I was looking to check for a injury and my pain was worse after leaving my appointment with her she was so rough. She claimed she couldnt detect my injury and advised I don't get the test for proof of my injury. I went to a different doctor and my injury was confirmed so I could get the help I needed. Worst doctor I've ever had the displeasure of enteracting with, $150 specialist visit waisted on a poor 'professional'.

The worst. Find someone else. Misdiagnosed “spitting stitches” with an infection that ate my entire right abdominal wall. Thanks to her, my life is completely changed and no one will operate.

Best surgeon as far as we are concerned in the valley. Compassionate, thorough, extremely knowledgeable and knows when to say...not my specialty; but I can refer you to someone. I would highly recommend her for your next surgery.

Dr. Lillard just finished a third surgery on my husband. We are so very thankful for her skill and care. What is considered as arrogance on another review I call confidence. I'll take a confident surgeon any day!! She is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and takes the time to answer questions...often at the end of a 20+ hour day. She takes calls from a panicked wife, even when she may have just gotten home. Another reviewer was upset at the fact that Dr. Lillard openly expressed her opinion on smoking. I would be disappointed with anyone in her position who didn't! As much as I hope to not need her services again, we will be back if we do!!
