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 developed a Inguinal hernia this last winter. I should have known better at 62 not to try and shovel heavy snow mixed with thick ice. So the problem was 100 percent my fault. Dr Vana did a stellar job on me with the surgery. I feel confident that I will bounce back pretty fast. Very happy that I found him. And I will be smart next time and take the advice which is to not try and exceed my limits because I am not 19 anymore and people in my age bracket will get hurt very easily if we fail to understand limits. Next year I am going to pay for snow removal. T OMalley

Nice guy that almost killed me
Routine surgery that ended up in multiple complications. Expert witness reviewed and agreed. He is a nice/ personable guy that has the aura of a college frat guy..... fist bumps anyone? He made a mistake and compounded it by his arrogance and bravado. 'Enter at your own risk'.
