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. Shaver is an exceptional surgeon. I’ve had two surgeries this year with him. The first was to put my colon back together after an emergency surgery a few months earlier. He was voice of reason on not rushing the surgery to ensure the best outcome. His confidence and professionalism made me feel comfortable and calmed any fears I had going into the operation. I’m so thankful to him, he gave me my quality of life back. I then needed a second outpatient surgery recently for an incisional umbilical hernia. I had no concerns prior to my surgery knowing he was my surgeon again. Within a few days I was feeling like myself with minimal pain and everything looks great. I highly recommend Dr. Shaver to anyone needing surgery. He is kind, patient, thorough and professional throughout the whole process. His office staff and nurses are all great and caring as well.

Best surgeon in Orange county
Dr. Shaver performed a laparoscopic robotic colon dissection on me. He had to cut my diseased colon away from my abdomen and remove my gallbladder. He is as professional as they come and a real gentleman. I highly recommend Dr. Shaver to anyone needing the best in the business.My sincere gratitude SincerelyPatrick Smith
