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.

Exceptional cosmetic surgery
My daughter was attacked in the face by a dog. Thank god for Dr. Zirul and his gifted hands he was able to meticulously sew up her wounds. I have heard through the years from many doctors what a beautiful job he did. This community is lucky to have such an incredible surgeon.

Ear exan
As per former visits the wait time was over an hour. I arrived early and he was already 1/2 hr late and a woman and 2 girls arrived and he saw them before me. That made him another 40 minutes late. I refused to wait any longer and my husband and I left. There is always at least an hour or more wait. Appointments need to be scheduled further apart.

Great care
Dr Zirul gives great care, takes the time to talk with you, doesn’t rush you and is thorough. He explains things so you understand. He fixed my deviated septum, and I feel great.

Dr. Zuril did not diagnose my condition correctly. This led to lengthy delays in treatment as I sought a second opinion.
