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. Serrano did my surgery to remove a cyst on my liver. He and his staff die an excellent job and was very supportive and explained everything to me. I highly recommend him.

Outstanding surgeon
Dr. Serrano is skillful, empathetic, and patient. He never seemed to be in hurry but explained the procedure carefully and was thorough in answering any questions. He explained all the complications as well as the benefits of surgery. When I was in the hospital, he came once or twice daily to check in on my progress. Everyone on his team was professional and kind.

Donated my left kidney
I requested Dr Serrano for my surgery because I was donating my kidney and he received the best reviews and came highly recommended. Before the surgery , he explained everything that was going to happen and he came to check on me in the hospital after the surgery was done . It’s only been a week after surgery and so far so good ! I have my post op appointment coming and i will see him soon . I’m glad I had a surgeon at Hartford Hospital that does this often and people have had wonderful experiences with.

Dr. Serrano informed my husband and me about the time frame of hospitalization with my upcoming surgery, healing time, the feeding tube, possible complications, etc. He was very patient about answering our questions. He is well-educated in his field of expertise and a very nice man. We highly recommend him.

Highly recommended.
Great experience as a first timer. I barely waited to be helped when I checked in. The staff and Dr. Serrano were all very friendly and helpful. Dr. Serrano explained everything to me in a very clear manner. He was also kind and friendly. Was referred over by my general doctor and can see why. Highly recommended.

God Bless You, Dr. Serrano!
I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful surgeon, who performed my Hand Assited Laproscopic Nephrectomy and enabled me to donate a kidney to my husband. I had an excellent outcome from my surgery. I felt well prepared before my surgery, and well taken care of and safe throughout my hospital stay. Dr. Serrano has an excellent bedside manner and patiently answered all my questions and addressed my concerns. My husband and I will be forever grateful to Dr. Serrano, Dr. Morgan and the entire Hartford Hospital Transplant Team of Superheroes :)

Amazing
Unfortunately, I have being dealing with many Doctors over the years and Dr Serrano is as good as it gets. He staff is equally amazing. I had been dealing with Doctors from Yale New Haven and they just weren't as competent. He takes the time, so you understand what you need to do. Every question received a thoughtful response. He is awesome!!

Dr. Serrano is one of the most talented surgeons ever. He performed a 9 hour Whipple on my husband in November. Stunning. If you need Hepatobiliary or a transplant surgery this is the guy for you.

Dr. Serrano is an outstanding doctor. He is kind, considerate, compassionate and knowledgeable in all areas. He did my surgery right before Thanksgiving and was there for a daily visit. When the results of the surgery came in it was a snowy, icy day. He walked over from his office to tell me the news that the cancer hadn’t spread. You are in good hands when you have him for a doctor. Five stars in all areas.

Wish I could give 10 stars. My grandmother has pancreatic cancer. Other doctors told her it was non-receptacle. Finally we were referred to Dr. Serrano. He called that same day, Friday. He’d seen her scans and felt she was a surgery candidate. He would see her Monday morning. She fell terribly ill before then. He said to bring her right in. They would stabilize her and start prepping for a next-week surgery. After 3 days, she stabilized, but she still could barely eat or drink anything without intense pains. He moved the surgery up. Gave her 4 days to get strong. Although he was off duty that weekend, he checked on her every day. Numerous doctors and health professionals we met said if they needed a Whipple, they’d want him to do it. Impeccable record. Immaculate skill. He had never had a patient who didn’t take blood before. He took time to learn her wishes exactly. He was careful, and minimized blood loss. She is now recovering beautifully. This is the surgeon you want.
