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.

Most caring Doctor
PIH has the nicest, and caring doctors, nurses and staff. I came into emergency room December 17, 2017 and needed to be put in a coma that lasted 3.5 months. When I woke up I was freaked out. Dr Anderson without a doubt, is responsible for saving my life. I had necrotizing pancreatitis, meaning my pancreas was over producing and eating itself then started eating my other organs. Dr Anderson I found out had been a Doctor in the Armed Forces. He knew the only way to save me was to use a wound-vac to soak up all the pancreatic fluids, of course insurance denied the procedure. After 23 life saving surgeries, Dr Anderson decided I could be brought out of Coma. I remained in PIH for a couple weeks longer. I am so grateful for PIH, and all the staff. I still come in and have procedures done here at PIH, every time I come in, I get the best service.
