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.

Stop Searching, You found the best! Dr. Syn and staff are simply the best. I have had ZERO regrets with going with them. Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful!

Excellent doctor. Performed my weight loss surgery as well as my tummy tuck surgery. He is a great doctor and the few times I had to reach out to him after office hours he called me back within a few minutes. His staff is also very good.

Dr.Syn saved my life 2 weeks ago repairing a gastric bypass I had done by another surgeon in Nevada. He came in late on a Friday night - long after clinic hours - to assist and eventually perform emergency surgery. He has been open with me on my treatment, answering all my questions and he personally removed my stitches. I believe he genuinely cares about the well being of his patients. As someone who got her bariatric surgery done with someone else, DEFINITELY GO SEE DR. SYN!

First and last visit. One bad apple spoils the whole bunch and that bad apple is Erica. She was extremely rude and unprofessional, using foul language, constantly interrupting me, rolling her eyes when I asked a question, and calling me by my first name. I am a senior citizen and do not appreciate a 40-something "nurse" who does not know me calling me by my first name. Everyone else was so nice but she is a part of this team and I do not feel safe around someone rude and hostile like Erica.
