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.

Worst care I ever received by a doctor in my life. I would not recommend seeing this doctor or anyone associated with his practice.

I had a appointment with Dr. Menz and was suffering severe diarrhea. I had to wait 45 minutes to see him. As ordered, I submitted a stool sample the next day and had an ultrasound one week later. I was never contacted by the doctor with the results. I sent them an email on their portal, and never heard anything. I went in 5 weeks later and asked for a copy of my file. All test results were in there but no one had ever contacted me and the doctor never prescribed anything for my problem.

I got my colonoscopy done the day after valanetines day so February 15th. I have tried to make a follow up appointment to get my results and to see the next step but I have been cancelled on 5 times and now I have an appointment with him on April 19th and have waited 1 and a half hours to see him and I am still waiting. I am a little upset with the doctor because I am in pain and there is nothing I can do about it.

I only have a couple complaints about my colonoscopy with Dr. Menz: it took forever to get the results. I was told to wait one week but it took a month. My husband had the same experience several years ago. His office staff did not return my calls with questions promptly. When I called again I was told something to the effect of: "Well, I'm here now. What is your question? No apology. A colonoscopy can be a scary experience. I would have appreciated quicker results and more empathy from staff
