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.

Lost over 60 pounds in 8 Months was referred 1st of August so my appointment was for sept.14 . Showed up receptionist said oh he's on vacation. We sent you a letter (guess using a phone wasn't possible.) So six weeks later I get in 30 second talk. I need colonoscopy ok. Set the date another 6 weeks.HERES TWO DAYS before my colonoscopy dr has bad accident and will be out 6 weeks. Ok I'm disappointed but completely understood. What I didn't understand is if I was 2 days away before his accident how when they said he was up and going again. GREAT so they rescheduled me again........another 6 weeks. If I was within 2 days getting it done then rescheduled me six weeks out? Something stinks. I was told it was because I had Medicare. I didn't know a dr.office could treat you so bad.Or pick and choose who they want to treat.

I would give him zero stars, except the nurses were so kind. Do not let him do a colonoscopy on you, unless you want to be fully aware of the pain! No compassion.
