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.

I would recommend Dr. Biskin in a heart beat to anyone who wants to be healed. He explains things in lay terms, he is pleasant and has great bedside manner. He repaired 9 hernias and put my insides back together. I have a mal-rotated colon and have had 9 surgeries prior to his repair. He addressed that and put me back together to relieve the many problems I have had with my bowel blocks since my 2005 colon resection. In my opinion....he is a miracle worker....!

Dr Biskin is the expert hernia surgeon who can do what most other surgeons can't. He is one of the most experienced hernia doctors is the country who treats celebrities and other doctors. He was referred to me by an operating room nurse who told me she had never seen such precise surgery. I had no pain after the operation and my scars are barely visible.
