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.

Professional and human
Dr Hellinger has been our GI Doctor for several years. He personally explains procedures clearly before performing anything. The follow up is immediate and reliable. I highly recommend him as a professional and human kind person.

The A team Literally
Excellent Dr. Extremely professional, polite and knowledgeable. Took care of business like a total boss. The way doctors should be. His nurse was excellent as well and very knowledgeable herself. The entire staff where all great. Minimal wait time and they’re office was probably the cleanest Drs office I’ve ever been to. They also gave me a last minute appt squeezing me in next day type of thing, so ty for that. 100% recommended hands down. Ty for providing such amazing service to you all. An example for others to follow.

Great care great staff
From setting up my initial consult to seeing the doctor to follow up and next step information I felt at home with Dr Hellonger and his entire staff. Everyone was caring and friendly. Efficient and thorough and most of all professional. Dr Hellinger was on schedule and came right in. Asked the right questions and got right to the point. He is understanding and seemed approachable. He listened and made decisions based on my answers that were explained to me so I could understand what was going to happen. It was all very well run and very reassuring. I’m not finished seeing the doctor but it was a great way ti start with a physician I didn’t know. Very easy and comfortable. Nice people

Highly Recommend Dr. Hellinger
Dr. Hellinger has many years of experience and is a first-rate doctor! I have had two colonoscopies with him and both times have been a seamless and excellent experience. He listens to his patient’s questions and concerns and offers compassionate answers and advise. I highly recommend Dr. Hellinger and will use him again in the future.
