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.

This physician is in a league of his own as far as skills and excellence. I could not even dreamed of how amazing my surgical results have been. I have worked as a critical care nurse for over 20 years and this physician is hands down one of the best I have seen both as a nurse and patient. I have never had such a caring and phenomenal team to work with as a patient. In addition, it is apparent that he loves what he does and truly cares about his patients. Not to mention his Nurse Practitioner and office staff are equally just as phenomenal. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me back my quality of life.

This Dr is talented and caring. Literally saved my life. Needed tricky abdominal surgery that several Drs turned down. Dr Escalon preformed the surgery and follow up visits with a high rate of skill and compassion. I’m very pleased and highly recommend

Got my bill and had 2 fees for the same day for a consultation. One of the fees was for the room itself. I have never had a doctor charge for using a room in his office. Never for a simple consultation. I, also, felt like he was only interested in doing surgery for a problem I have had for over 7 years and seemed irritated with my questions.
What went well

  • Didn't listen or answer questions
