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.

My visit was several years ago… I had been sick with my gallbladder for a while and it got much worse and I went to the emergency room. I was sick as a dog and looked rough. I requested Dr. Hodge because he done my uncles surgery. The whole process was awful. I was given to much medicine after telling them I was extremely sensitive to medication in which the reply was you don’t look like someone who is sensitive. When I woke up I could not breathe and blacked out. He didn’t remove all the air from surgery which left me in a lot of pain, and my belly button scar is horrendous. I’ve had several doctors ask about it and who done it and were surprised . My thought is he was annoyed that I requested him and had to come in on a weekend, after hours. Post op visit wasn’t any better. He didn’t know who I was or remember my surgery. I know this review is late but he scarred me literally for life in more ways than one and it’s never to late to speak up.

He has a great bed side manner but you may not wake up from surgery. He was my physician for 10 years and preformed different procedures. He almost killed me due to his negligence. He scarred my insides and ended up cutting into my liver and spleen - leading to life long complications. I went back to explain something was wrong. I had jaundice and was very sick. He told me I looked great and then did not even read my CT results. He gave me a medication he knew I could not take then walked out.

I am a 67-year-old male and had laparoscopic double inguinal hernia repair surgery. Dr. Hodge and his team did a superb job and I had a painless, very quick recovery. I found Dr. Hodge to be a delightful guy and extremely competent surgeon.

Dr. Hodge performed paraesophageal hernia repair on me. He did a great job! I'm feeling great! I love that everyone in the office (including the dr. ) are very nice, helpful and receptive. Very thorough! I'd recommend him for surgery!

Excellent surgeon. Performed umbilical surgery on me and everything went great. He was very easy to talk to and on follow up he said I could come back any time if I had any problems or questions. Very friendly and helpful staff. I would use again if need arises.

Ridiculous wait times and staff is not patient friendly. At check in, the lady never opened the window when patients signed in. Waited over an hour in waiting room.
