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.

Genuinely dedicated to his patients and profession
Dr. Z is approachable and takes the time to have a conversation regarding the specific issue. He is accessible as is his team, having cancer is never something one wants but having Dr. Z to guide me through this is truly a blessing.

Knowledgeable, professional, caring
Dr. Z is an awesome doctor. He is confident in his abilities, takes the time to explain and answer questions during office visits and about surgery options. I had a surgery performed by him and it turned out well. He gave me a cell phone number to contact him at any time with questions or concerns. I felt very confident with him and enjoyed his quiet sense of humor. I always read reviews of doctors before I see them, and I hope this helps someone feel at ease and confident in his abilities. I was impressed with his credentials when I googled him, and even more impressed when he talked to me about his professional background and why he does what he does.

Dr. Z is incredible. His level of care and genuine concern for his patients is like nothing I have ever experienced with a dr. He makes himself available, and never makes you feel like you are a bother. He did an amazing job on my surgery, and was very good at explaining everything in a way that I understood. He also answered all of my questions (I had a lot) with patience. I highly recommend him!
