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.

Squamous Carcinoma Fail
Chose the wrong surgeon. My fault. He’s not informative at all. Very fast with his visits. Not sure this type of surgery, is in his field at all. Wished I had known. I sat in a chair for my initial visit. He leaned against the room examining table, shook his head, when I showed him the area on my leg. He questioned ‘why’ the dermatologist couldn’t do it in her office? Made a date for surgery. Saw him maybe 2min, before and after surgery. Told me ‘he got it all’ when I asked. Lab results came in and apparently he didn’t. I now have another surgery lined up, with a Plastic Surgeon, that made me feel so relieved within the first few moments, of meeting him. Wonderful personality, very informative & made me feel important. Ive learned a little about being diagnosed with this type of skin cancer but, its been an exhausting journey…filled with so much worry about the unknown. If Icould offer any advice : Research, your chose in physicians!!!

Dr Nauts Performed Colon Surgery on me for Cancer. He has a very good bedside manner and is a very good surgeon. He use a robotic proceedure to remove part of my colon which the heal time was way shorter than the old conventional of using the scalpel. I would recommend him to anyone needing surgery.

I had a surgery for an inguinal hernia many years ago. The pain after the surgery was severe. The hernia redeveloped several years ago, but I've been reluctant to have surgery again. However,it started to hurt so bad I went to see Dr. Nauts. He said that he would do the surgery using a robot.I was nervous about this because a robot sounds crazy. However, it's been the best decision I've ever made. Other than a little soreness I've had no pain. Dr. Nauts has been amazing. Highly recommend!!
