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.

Dr, Kanning was very nice and honest! He literally told me that he didn’t think I needed my gallbladder out, that my symptoms just were not that indicative of that diagnosis. (How many surgeons are known to do this?). He took the time to show an X-ray that he thought might be a problem, but since then I have found out otherwise. Possibly intercostal Neuralgia because the pain is no longer just on the left side (gallbladder side) but throughout full ribcage. Thank you, Dr. Kanning, for not just taking out my gallbladder, which many surgeons might have! (Spring 2019)

Doctor Kanning is by far the best doctor I've ever had. He has a wonderful personality plus he is a very good surgeon. Seldom do you find both qualities in the same doctor. He literally saved my life with his surgical ability and for that I will always be grateful.
