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.

A relief to meet an understanding and caring doctor that listens & is gentle!

Dr. George performed a planned cesarean delivery operation on me in 2019. While her bedside manner seems to be fair (I was only treated by her on the day of my operation), I have serious concerns about how she performed by surgery. First, she failed to cut me on the same scar line from my first cesarean delivery. My first scar was neatly placed in the crease, low on my torso, and is barely visible. The incision she made is about an inch higher, large, crooked, and jagged. I asked my OB at my postpartum check up, why it was done this way. He said that is not the proper way as it is customary to cut on the same line. Creating a new incision only weakens the abdominal wall between the two scars. Second, and more serious, she left a piece of the placenta behind. This left me with excruciating cramps postpartum until finally I passed the three inch piece of tissue naturally at nine weeks postpartum. Thank goodness I did not suffer a hemorrhage, as this can be a deadly complication of retain

She’s the best! For the first time I feel like my doctor was not in no rush and listened to everything I had to say. I would recommend anyone to go with Dr.George. She is courteous, she takes her time to explain in a way you can understand. I felt comfortable with her the entire time of my pregnancy and delivery. I am definitely going to continue seeing her when needed. She has such a wonderful staff as well.

Dr. George is very knowledgeable about current treatment practices and openly discusses all of the options for treatment. She has an amazingly patient and sincere bedside manner, and I felt completely comfortable asking her all of my questions. I'm so glad that I found her, and I will be booking my future appointments with her.
