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.

Thorough & Complete
Responsive & precise, my trust and best care starts with him.

Until this last time with visiting St Mark's hospital and its clinics for the majority of my medical needs, I will NEVER visit again based on my last experience. I visited the Gastroenterology Clinic on May 11 for a colonoscopy and have been waiting and calling trying to get my results. I have place 5 calls and each time 'assured' of a call back. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The level of customer service at this clinic and Dr's office is AWFUL.

Dr. Maxwell was thorough and gentle in the investigation of my problems. He was great to explain his thought processes and rationale for particular experiments. In the end he discovered the issue and solved it. I couldn't be more pleased with the results. I feel like a new person. I'm grateful he took the time with me that I deserved.

I chose gastroenterology because of the fascinating science and the chance to prevent cancer. I was attracted to a varied practice with time spent in the office, in the endoscopy center and in the hospital, plus the long- and short-term relationships with patients.
