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 Presser is the clear choice as my surgeon
I visited Dr presser regarding removal of a chest tumor. Upon my arrival he had already thoroughly reviewed my case and had answers to all of my questions. He is amazingly talented and well-experienced, As well as personable, friendly and compassionate. I could easily see from his long list of credentials that he's the only great choice as my surgeon for my condition. He's been trained at the top hospitals in the country and has techniques that other doctors don't possess in the operating room.

Fantastic surgeon!
Had a follow-up visit to review C/T scan results from a pretty nasty lung surgery in November. Prognosis was excellent! Fullly recovered, scars have mostly faded. Dr Presser even took the time to show and explain the C/T itself, and go over some pre-op pictures with me. Highly recommend. Get him if you can! :D

Great visit. Front desk was attended and helped me right away. Visit was quick and efficient. Dr. Presser was very thorough and explained his actions for moving forward and what to expect. Front desk also explained next steps and what they will do on my behalf. Wait time was very minimal, about 10 minutes. Cannot say enough about how pleasant this visit was.
