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.

She yelled at me and said why did you wait so long to decide have my Ileostomy reversed when I went up to Mankato,Mn. MAYO for a consultation with her I told her it because I had just found the Lord again.She then got up and looked at my Mucus Fistula.and left me in the room for 45min. before one of the staff asked me what I was doing and I said I'm waiting for her to come back.That woman told me she went back to surgery.I told my MD.Dr.Stelter back in 2016 that I was ready to have it done ASAP but I wanted the test done here and the surgery done in Rochester by a G.I specialist but for some reason he kept pushing these General Surgeons to do my very difficult surgery.When I went for my Pre-surgery Colonoscopy Dr.Grace Dosanjh and any of the five people in the room didn't even know I had a Ileostomy and a Mucus Fistula when till I took my clothes off. When they did my colonoscopy they tore me up so bad inside I now have to stick a rubber hose in my rectum to flush out my Mucus Fistula every time it plugs up or changing my pouch in the tub. Why was I denied surgery at Rochester Mayo the best G.I hospital in the world. I now have to live with this Ileostomy for the rest of my life not to mention the time I lost in my life from 2016 when I asked Dr.Stelter to get the ball rolling on getting reversed and living a normal life. I hope all you Dr.s can sleep at night knowing you have taken eight years off my life.
