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.

He saved my husband's life
My husband had abdominal pain and we went into the Emergency Room. Long story short, he had a hole in his colon and had to have a temporary colostomy bag for about 3 months. Dr. Safley saw the red flags and checked in on him even before it would have been time to make the decision to go into surgery. We know that his check-up and attention to small details like my husband's slight temperature are the reason he is alive today! We saw Dr. Safley many times in the following months for follow-ups and he also performed the surgery to remove the bag and return my husband to normal. We are very thankful for his expertise, follow-up, and two successful surgeries to save my husband's life!

STAY AWAY!!! Do not let this guy operate on you under any circumstances. You have the right to request a different surgeon. YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DO!!! Dr Safley is not a good surgeon by any standard. He gives no pre-op information, does not give any information on what was done afterwards, his aftercare instructions were openly criticized by experienced surgeons from the medication (antibiotics) to the wound care. MOST IMPORTANTLY he did not do a thorough job at all and left me with huge painful open wounds that are disfiguring. On top of all of that, he has an attitude as if he is a stellar surgeon. Trust me, do not let him operate on you or make any medical decisions for you. There are (MUCH) better surgeons in the same building. Ones who have taught others at university, are experienced, knowledgable, and talented. Dr Safley is none of these.
