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.

Dr. Birkenhagen is a great surgeon and an outstanding and caring man. He has treated myself and many members of my family. He not only listens to his patients, he genuinely cares about their wellbeing. He does not chose surgery as a first option and I have never doubted or been dissapointed with his medical decisions. I along with many friends and family were saddened to receive his retirement letter. He will be very difficult to replace and I wish him the very best.
