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. Brouns always takes the time to answer all your questions and explain the treatment plan. He reviews any scans or tests that you have had. All the support staff and lab personnel are great.

He has had a lot of success dealing with my pancreatic cancer but recently, it is coming back. He was able to determine through a recommended surgery that it was coming back even though scans didn't show a large tumor. A molecular scan was ordered and results should help point to a new treatment.

I was referred to Dr. Brouns by another MD. He and his schedulers had me complete a CT scan, bone marrow biopsy, colonoscopy, heart ultrasound and PET scan all within 4 days, and under chemo within 14 days. Had the world's leading authority on my cancer located in NYC on my tumor board. Had zero billing or insurance issues. I'm just past my 5 year remission date after NH-Lymphoma, and totally attribute my success to Dr. Brouns, his support staff and the entire Compass/US Oncology Team.
