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.

Over 9 year out from a stage 3 adenocarcinoma. Half my stomach and 22 lymph nodes. Moved out of state and was seeing oncologists and physicians at the University of Chicago and in Wisconsin for followup checks. Everything was fine. All the physicians knew of Dr. Visser and stated he was one of the best surgeons in the country. Do not remember the " bedside manner", but who gives a s**t! He got the job done and I am still around.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Visser?
Told my brother he had 6 months to live after diagnosed with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma at Stanford. No compassion. Just cut and dry. My brother lived 2.5 years after he said he’d be dead. He always said meeting Dr. Visser as the first doctor when he was diagnosed was awful. Gave him no hope. Always regretted not having another opportunity to meet a surgeon with a good bedside manner. He also threw his medical oncologist under the bus. Said he can cure anyone if he’s just referred to early. Cancer is not so simple. Lack of communication with the cancer team and my brother. Should have presented him at a multi specialty conference before removing Hope.
