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.

Best GI EVER
Dr. George truly cares about each and every one of his patients. He has changed my life and my health. Without him I would be miserable! He listens and that was big for me. He also never makes me feel as if I am a bad person or being judged about maybe 'falling off the wagon' with food.

Good experience
The staff was helpful and welcoming. She helped me finish the paperwork to check in. She was patient. I alway appreciate that. There was not a long wait to see the doctor. Dr. George asked questions and explained what out voices were. Over all, it was a good experience... for going to the doctor.

Dr George My longtime Dr.
Telehealth
Dr George and I spoke on telehealth I was needing a refill on my prescription. So it made it easier for me to have a telehealth call instead of going in the office not needing any other health services. He’s been my doctor for many years and has always been caring accommodating and discusses explains any issues that I have.

Great Dr

Dr George saved my life! Years ago and again last year when I had a blocked esophagus and ended up on ER, he just happened to be there and made his staff stay to do procedure at 8p at night. He’s always available to answer your questions and gives me great insight on my diagnosis.
