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.

She is the absolute best dr I’ve ever been to. She’s performed 2 surgeries on me. I wouldn’t go to another for a procedure. I’ll follow her if I need something surgical done. She’s the most thorough, compassionate, and caring dr that I have ever been to.

Dr. Vereb was very clear, direct, and knowledgeable. My understanding of my condition increased ten times every time I would visit. She suggested a surgery for treatment and gave me a very clear success rate on her patients versus other colleagues. Said she had an 80% success rate on this particular surgery so that gave me confidence in her practice. Three months later went to retest and the surgery was a complete success. She is a no BS kind of doctor and is very direct. The most you’ll get is a handshake, doesn’t ask about what you did for your weekend or talk about the weather. She puts the focus on your condition and speaks very quickly medical jargon so if you don’t understand let her know she is very good at answering my dumb questions.

She filled my prescription but will not answer my many calls and voice mails to confirm more refills; therefore, I am stuck without a medicine I need to function properly. She talks way too fast to understand what is happening and what to do next. This causes so much miscommunication and asking her a question is impossible because she won't allow you to speak.

I'm from lake ozark mo. Dr. Vereb was filling in temporarily. I was nervous. I was bleeding and never had a primary physician. I wasn't expecting a female doctor in this feild but I'm so greatful for her skills, knowledge and manners. In other words... I had bladder cancer. I'm 2 years cancer free and there is only 1 person to thank and I can't thank her enough. Dr. Margaret Vereb. Should my condition resurface.. I'm catching the next flight.

I have never been talked to and disrespected like this before. I can’t believe I came to her for help. I have had the diagnosis from her colleague and a prior urologist and she walked in the room with all my records and said I didn’t have what I know I did have and then I left the appt needed a refill for what I had been on for 13yrs she made me come back in to tell me she didn’t like being pressured into refilling it (crazy) as anywhere u would look that’s the first Med u get when u have what I have. She said it’s not for my condition even though it is and she saw my chart where I had been on it and it’s also a Med u can’t just stop taking abruptly. Worst personality, very combative, and doesn’t listen just does what she wants. In and out quick cause she takes NO time with you. Talked to two other people who went to her all different conditions and gives the same meds to everyone. Stay clear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first appointment was with a male doctor. He talked me into having my vasectomy done in office rather than getting put under. On thew procedure date, I had a 1.5 hour wait...where my sedatives wore off. I was not offered any kind of relief. I was completely aware of my surroundings and during the procedure, Dr. Vereb told me that I definitely should have been put under due to some complications. I am now trying to get my results back and have waited 2 days for just a call back from her.

Dr Vereb performed a prostate biopsy and cystoscopy on me last week. She spent time with my wife and I both prior to and after the procedure and patiently answered our questions. I think she is an excellent physician and most importantly, gives a damn. She knows what she is doing and is confident in her abilities. Stupid questions don't appear to bother her too much.

Makes one feel comfortable as if you are talking to a friend. Very gentle, not like a male Dr I went to in Mintgomery.
