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 would never recommend this doctor
I read what she wrote on mypenn chart and actually started to hyperventilate. She claimed I came to see her due to something found on a colonoscopy and then attached the report of the very first colonoscopy I received over 20 years earlier. That colonoscopy report had absolutely nothing to do with why I was there. Next upon visual exam she stated what I had appeared to be external but needed an EUA to make sure. However, in her notes she states because of internal location we decided on surgery. We had no such discussion. There were also a few minor errors she put in the notes as to when I was treated for other conditions.

She had not read her PA's notes. She also diagnosed my incorrectly, didn't want to give me a Rx for suppositories, failed to discuss nonsurgical options for my hemmorroids. Cursory rectal exam and she was out the door. I literally chased her into the hallway to ask about my next colonoscopy.

Good doctor but doesn't explain things well at all and the wait times are ridiculous.. I'm constantly waiting more than 30-40 minutes at every appointment and they have the audacity to ask you to be 15 minutes early for your appointment time. If you have a busy schedule or value your time, find another doctor.
