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.

I can’t even comprehend the negative reviews. I have severe PTSD and nearly lost my life over a fear of doctors. He spent so much time calming me down and talking to me. He was funny, kind, knowledgeable and I actually made it through my scope without flashbacks and fear. He appears extremely invested in learning and growth in his career. I would follow this doctor anywhere, that’s how good he was. He made the fear of stage 4 cancer returning less and was about the only one that believed my severe pain after treatment of a 13.3cm tumor as real. He cared. I’m not used to that. Not really in life in general and it wasn’t just his bedside manner. He was very thorough and made sure I kept on track with my scope. Thank you for being the first doctor I’ve ever trusted with my life or really at all.

Dropped me as a patient. Long story short, Dr. A insistent my GI issues were caused by one thing which another doctor disproved. Dr. A still insisted he was right and refused to test me for other GI problems because he couldn’t handle being wrong. Kept throwing OTC medication at me, never once tried prescription medication. Said to my face “I don’t know why you’re still experiencing symptoms,” then dropped me as a patient 2 weeks later. Worst GI doctor ever. Doesn’t believe patients and refuses to be wrong even when he is.

Made comments that were out of line. Follow up after surgery nonexistent. Would not go back or recommend this doctor to friends and family. Avoid if possible.
