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.

Cold and distant, didn't listen and didn't make a follow-up after the surgery.

My husband was transferred here to Enloe. By no means did we realize a gallbladder would be as complicated as it was. A rare situation that has only been seen in 9 other people, according to medical logs. Luckily, Dr Cleet had the knowledge and quick thinking of what to do. He said my husband is a miracle - I'd say the miracle was being put in the hands of Dr Cleet. I will always be grateful. Thank you for saving my husband!

Dr. Cleek saved my Mom's life. He has the experience to make the right call. I found that he was also a good listener at the bed side after surgery. His skill level and expertise to bring someone through a complicated life saving procedure, was a part of giving my Mom more time here with us. I believe he has an Angel on his shoulder.

Dr. Cleek performed my hernia surgery, which was a very complicated and rare one. He and his staff did an exceptional job!! Three months down the line, I'm doing awesome! Dr. Cleek is a first rate surgeon, which is why he has been a head surgeon at Enloe for over three decades. You can trust he and his staff completely to take care of you and yours. Sincerely, Rev. Todd DuBord (former Chaplain for Chuck Norris and present Pastor at Mt. Lassen Community Church in Lake Almanor)

Thus guys job was to save my life, which he did with a polished skill and empathy that I stand in respect of. He's trama so scheduling etc has no meaning here. Chico is lucky to have him, and I can only say thank you.

Horrible experience. Have seen him a total of two minutes since he performed surgery. He has not listened to me about the pain and complications I am experiencing. I am currently looking into how to get a second opinion. I am worried that something is extremely wrong, the pain level, and type of pain, is worst then he had said it should be, and has hurt 4 times longer so far, then he said it should. I feel like he doesn't want to admit he could of made a mistake. He is a butcher,horrible surgeon
