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.

Excellent care all the way throughout

Dr Erckmen is a great surgeon who is able to communicate effectively with her patients. She was caring enough to personally call me the night before surgery due to anesthesia's poor quality of care. I would've given a "very good" on recommendation had it not been for the MA at her practice being unhelpful in ensuring follow up scheduling.

Cutting edge surgeries
Dr. Erkmen was with me through an incredibly difficult journey including cancer and esophageal/gastro reconstruction. Her ability to listen and pull together a team and a plan allowed me to get back to a life. Without her and her teams, I probably wouldn't be here today and I certainly wouldn't have the life I do.
