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.

Uniquely special surgeon
Dr. Pelham is a remarkable plastic surgeon doing closures on major surgical procedures. I had extensive and complicated wound dehiscence which he repaired over a few months with two procedures. He was meticulous and thought outside of the box. Excellent surgeon. Excellent result.

Did an excellent job on my 12 inch incision after a 7 hour back surgery. Nice smooth seam, no problems or leakage. Came to introduce himself morning after surgery. No pain in follow up to remove external stitches.
