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.

Negligent, uncaring, lacks humility

Excellent Dr!!
I had seen another Dr who was not helpful and was closed minded! Dr Notaro gave me several suggestions and also caught something that I was taking that was doing the opposite of what I was trying to fix, he told me to stop taking 2 over the counter products immediately! I trust him and highly recommend that you make an appointment that could change your life like mine did! Knowledgeable, professional and takes as much time to discuss and answer any questions!!!!

Dr. Notaro is an amazing surgeon with extensive expertise in colorectal surgery. He is also a kind and patient doctor who explains things so thoroughly and always has time to answer my many questions. He saved my life with rectal cancer surgery and his positive outlook is comforting. I highly recommend Dr. Notaro, a dedicated and caring professional who truly cares about his patients.

I required surgery for an extreme case of Diverticulitis. Dr Notaro operated on me for seven hours although he could have taken the easy way out and finished in a few hours and I would have been left with a Colostomy bag. Dr Notoro knew that I didn't want this, so he took the more difficult route. I had an Ileostomy bag for four months and has now been reversed. It is difficult to put words how grateful I am to Dr Notaro and his staff. My life is back to normal. I highly recommend Dr Notaro

I was in a great deal of embarrassing pain ask the front desk for the first available appointment. A follow-up call was made within 24hrs. Had an appointment Dr. Notaro MD fixed the issue in no time gave a follow-up visit date and Prescription. This Dr. deserves a 5 Star in all areas staff front desk was courteous and concerned. The office was clean interesting reading material in the lobby as well as television. Patient room clean and organized nurse comes in right away for documentation.
