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.

Outstanding
should have gone to see him years ago. I never knew my problem was fixable. He listened to my symptoms and knew what was wrong before he even examined me. Then after some attempts at medical therapy we decided to proceed with a minor surgery. Ive never felt better! He gave me my lide back. could not recommend him more highly

great doctor
Dr Moffa has taken care of my family for years for everything from minor office treatments to colonoscopies to major surgeries. He really knows what hes doing. He corrected a misdiagnosis in a family member and he also just did my moms colon surgery. Has always been kind and professional.

Very unha
Dr Moffa may be an expert in his field, but he’s far from a person that makes you feel safe and comfortable. I have been a patient of Dr Moffa since 2001! My husband talked me into staying with the practice, as I only saw him once every 5 years for a colonoscopy. Only once in his office many years ago, and I cried all the way home the way I was treated.Dr Moffa has not uttered one word to me in the past 15 years! Not “Hello” “How are you doing”? NOTHING!…..my last colonoscopy I was left on a stretcher for over 2 hours waiting my turn. I was 72 years old, had been hit by a car with multiple spinal surgeries, with zero apologies for the pain I was in while waiting. I’m now 77, and may never have to have another colonoscopy, but if so, it will certainly NEVER be Dr Moffa!

Excellent doctor
His office staff was clearly very busy but they got me in urgently. Dr Moffa took the time to talk to me about my condition. He recommended some simple measures I could try to improve my situation and he ultimately did a simple office procedure which helped me immensely. A great doctor and a great guy.

Impressed!
Friendly staff, zero wait time, very straightforward and did not push surgery. He politely answered all my questions and asked me questions to determine the best course of action for my treatment. I left relieved and with a full understanding of reasons to NOT proceed with surgery! I was very grateful for that!

ONLY WANTS TO SELL SURGERY!
He tried to sell me a very dangerous surgery and offered no other treatment options. I fixed it myself with OTC. He did not even return a phone call asking for a prescription.

Definitely recommend.
I read other reviews but I loved that he was focused on being the best surgeon. Which is what he is. My case was complicated and very difficult and he is talented and skilled enough as a surgeon that i got the best possible outcome. I found Dr Moffa to be very professional and excellent at what he does. I have been operated on 5 other times and never had as good of an outcome as this surgery. Excellent job Dr Moffa to you and your staff. Thank you for everything.

Dr. Moffa is caring, knowledgeable, professional and competent. After calling on doctors in his area of specialation for 10+ years they are not warm and fuzzy. Just before and also after the procedure Dr. Moffa WAS funny and down to earth. I highly recommend Dr. Moffa.

My Mom has been sick for two years and has been to many doctors. I can say Dr Moffa is awesome! He took the time to listen and explained things so well. He answered all our queations and concerns! Time did not matter as the wait time was a bit long but now I see why, he listens and he doesnt just push people through! Loved him! Cant wait to see if he can help my Mom, but if not at least he showes he cares.

I waited 1 hour 15 minutes for my appointment prior to procedure. Never apologized for being so late. Procedure went fine but I had to ask to see the doctor after procedure as I was told he doesn't usually come in to give results. He never introduced himself to my spouse when he came in. He's a good doctor but needs some people skills, a smile and better bedside manner. I won't go back.

Top notch doctor. Put me at ease with having colorectal surgery and compassionately supported me through the procedure. Main thing he knew and explained what would happen. The procedure and recovery went as he had explained. No doubts he is a highly skilled and caring surgeon. Judy corbett
