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.

I was nervous to have my first surgery, but Dr. Rasmussen put me at ease. He did an excellent job and took the time to explain the process, as well as answer any questions I had. His staff also has great customer service. I highly recommend Dr. Rasmussen.

I've had 3 surgeries in my life, the latest being the most serious, a thyroidectomy. I can not say enough great things about my experience with Dr. Rasmussen. He provided me with answers to all my questions and concerns before and after my surgery. I have seen many women who had the same surgery that were left with major scars on their necks. It's been 3 months since my surgery, I feel great and you would never know by looking at my neck that it had been cut open. An amazing Doctor!!!

Wonderful Surgeon!! Had a lap chole and was extremely nervous because this was my first surgery. He was very reassuring and my husband said he was the only doctor that came out to the waiting room to speak with him. (Other families waiting while their family member was in surgery).

Dr. Rasmussen and his staff are amazing. They are so caring and understanding. I have never had a doctor with such a great bedside manner. He has performed two surgeries on me and he did a super.
