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.

My mom went in for simple gallbladder surgery with this doctor and she ended up being life flighted to Pittsburgh, PA. Were UPMC saved her life. As a result of this mess she has had a total of 12Units of blood (over the course of two hospitals) and two emergency repair surgeries just to stop her bleeding! And just to keep her alive. For a month she has been in the Trauma ICU at UPMC just to keep her alive. Two weeks being intubated. One month later she is NOW finally awake and alert, on bipap to keep CO2 in check, and almost off nasal feedings. Her kidney function is starting to come back and she may not need temporary dialysis anymore. Yes her kidneys went into acute renal failure because of her excessive bleeding. She missed thanksgiving with her grandchildren and will now miss christmas thanks to this simple surgery. If high risk do not use this doctor period!!!!!

About Me

care philosophy

I focus solely on the patient and his/her needs.  This includes not just treating the disease process surgically but treating the patient as a whole.  In some cases, this means making the decision not to operate, which can be more difficult...read more
