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. Piepmeier may be very smart but he is so arrogant and full of himself, that I would choose another very smart doctor who is also concerned about the patient rather than his own ego!

Dr. Piepmeier has performed 4 craniotomies on me with the latest on January 16, 2019. Previously I was in a clinical trial at MA General for infusions of Keytruda. My doctor at MA General was able to determine that I have a defective gene in my previous extracted tumors. I am currently going to Sloan Kettering for another clinical trial if and when my tumor grows back. I am hoping it does not but my tumors are WHO grade 3 and I continue to work and enjoy life. Excellent Dr. and man. Respect.
