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.

Dr.Felix is the best bariatric Doctor in California! He did my gastric sleeve and my hiatal hernia fix. I could not get a doctor to touch me because of my pairitenitus when I was 21 and the fact that all my organs were stuck together. Dr.Felix did my surgery laparoscopically when every surgeon told me they could not and would have to fully open me up. Dr.Felix not only has the most experience but also the most confident doctor with a can do attitude. Dr.Felix is number #1 in bariatric surgery!
