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.

Incredible surgeon!
Dr. Thomas Matthew performed triple bypass surgery for my dad and truly saved his life! The surgery went well but his recovery took 10 days at the ICU, during which time Dr. Matthew personally made sure my dad was well take care of.

Dr. Matthew performed a triple by-pass surgery for me. He has a wonderful bedside manner. I was pretty scared when I first went to see him and he was so down to earth and kind that I had total confidence in him. I think it's a rare combination for someone to be so brilliant and educated and also able to relate to a scared patient almost like a personal friend.
