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.

Dr. D
The staff is super friendly. Dr. D helped me with my problem,he is compassionate and caring. He sits down and talks to you, explains, things asks if you have questions. He did my surgery 2 years ago. I would highly recommend Dr. D and his office. He did tests to find out what the steps were to help me.

The GREAT Doctor!
Dr. Dvorak has been amazing during the time that my Dad (Mr. Livesay) had his second colon cancer surgery. The surgery was a great success. Unfortunately, my Dad experienced unrelated complications that further delayed his healing process. He became critical due to the existing complications, but Dr. Dvorak continued to be a key player and extremely supportive with his treatment and prognosis plans. He was very compassionate to my family and provided candid information during the reporting process each visit. He is a GREAT doctor.

Dr. Dvorak has performed two colonscopies on me. The second was done without anesthesia at my request. Being awake during the procedure made me understand the procedure and the findings. Dr. Dvorak explained what he was doing and what he was seeing. A great doctor.

Get a second opinion! I had major surgery using the robot and requiring several days in the hospital . The procedure could have been done utilizing a scope. He came HIGHLY recommended and I trusted his opinion at the consult. My post surgery questions were not taken seriously. At one appointment another doctor in this group wanted to give me a cortisone shot for pain!

We chose Dr. Dvorak as a second opinion after a surgery that went wrong and was almost certainly going to end in a permanent colostomy. He evaluated and quickly addressed the problem, and we ended up with a temporary ostomy and hope for being reconnected again. Very kind, smart and caring.
