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. Douoguih's is an excellent doctor. He has made me feel comfortable from the beginning and I am grateful that he has been my surgeon. His medical skills are impeccable.

He seemed preoccupied with research study rather than treating my issue. He wasn’t proactive nor did he provide care to explain treatment options.

Over Promise, Under deliver
The early consults were very positive and very much 'this procedure will fix you right up'. No discussion of potential risks and possibility that the procedure (knee HTO) would not fix my condition. Also, I was not educated on how severe this procedure would be (I had to learn it on my own). I went back after 6 months complaining that my pain was worse than before my surgery; he stated, 'Well, you're a big guy, and it can collapse.' Then he recommended removing my hardware, which contradicted his statement that removal of the hardware isn't an option in my pre-op consults. I went through with 2nd procedure, and my post-op follow-up was rushed, virtual, and very 'matter of fact' that I needed a partial or total knee replacement. It lasted approx. 15 min or so. In summary, his confidence oversold me on the outcome of a very complex and risky procedure. Felt as though I was 'sold' and then tossed aside after the surgery was done.

Dr. D is an active listening. I felt heard. His wonderful bedside manner immediately put me at ease. He explained things and his proposed course of action. His assurance that my shoulder Is fixable means a lot since I swim, and swimming is my Zen place.
