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.

I had years of awful foot pain and had three different surgeries from three different doctors! Each one making the pain worse! Dr Dejesus was my last resort! I was in such pain I couldn’t walk! He has done one foot so far and it feels much better! I can’t wait for him to do the other foot as that one is in awful pain! Highly recommended! Plus he is such a great guy!

Simple bunionectomy and hammertoe repair surgery failed and two more surgeries from two different surgeons later, life has been hard and painful for past five years. His bedside manner is great, surgical expertise needs help.
