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. Sussman Good Surgen
Many years ago Ken Sussman did an emergency bowel resection as I was going septic. Some time later, after a colonoscopy, the doctor complemented, through me, Dr Sussman's job. Ten years ago, after a upper endoscopy in which ken found extensive pre-cancer in my throat, he found and connected me with the best and most advanced clinic in the business. He has saved my life twice now. He still scopes my throat yearly. I hope I will never need him again, but if I need a general surgen to save me, Ken Sussman will do just fine

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Susman?
It's hard to say if it is a general lack of ability, or maybe he is just stressed out because of the pandemic, but in my case he displayed no competence whatsoever. This man had no ability to diagnose my problem, he spent thousands of dollars chasing a potential cancer diagnosis when it turns out it was just a bruise. Even the person that he had do the biopsy suggested not doing the biopsy. Susman should be ashamed of himself. A person like this does not seem like a doctor but more like an experimenter. He caused me much pain and suffering while incompetently proving unable to diagnose my problem. Another doctor two blocks away was able to diagnose it within minutes and fixed it within minutes where this man spent thousands of dollars and caused me agony and pain and a scar. Way to go, Dr. Susman. I remember this man hanging out at the bars 20 years ago. I felt really uncomfortable going to see him because of that. I should have listened to my gut.
