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.

Absolutely THE BEST
Dr. Hess saved my wife’s life…period. He put her at ease with his demeanor and saved her from having to go through unnecessary procedures that other doctors maintained were vital. We are blessed to have met this man, So much so that we traveled out of state to Wood County Hospital for him to perform the delicate and difficult colon surgery and intestinal repositioning. Kathy had several scars across her abdomen from previous surgeries which made the procedure even more intense. Scar tissue tends to stick to organs and other scar tissue and Dr. Hess meticulously untangled the mess through the 4-5 hours it took to complete. Our advice to anyone who has had the daylights scared out of them by other doom and gloom surgeons is to make an Appointment with Dr. Hess. He and his staff will put you at ease and you’ll be the one singing the praises.MAY GOD BLESS this humble man.

I was referred to Dr. Hess by my family doctor and it was a good referral. Dr. Hess is an excellent General Surgeon and I've only known him for a short time. I've had gallbladder surgery and a colonoscopy performed by him with excellent results. I would definitely refer him to other family members and friends.
