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.

Do not be fooled by his bedside manner. He lied to my face to make sure insurance paid for my c-section. His character is corrupt. He blamed post partum depression for my anxiety about my health after blood poured out of my surgical site onto the kitchen floor. He said he left a gap on purpose but his surgical notes say otherwise. I developed 3 separate infections in my uterus, abdominal cavity and at the surgical site within weeks and after having initially lost half the volume of blood in my body and needing 4 transfusions within 24hrs of my c-section surgery.

Nearly 5 years ago, Dr. Turner & Dr Ischmiel operated on me all day. I had stage 4 metastatic ovarian cancer. Although the prognosis was grim, Dr Turner faught for my life. I am celebrating Valentine's 2021 with my husband and I pray that God blesses this fine doctor. Daphna Daniels

Dr. Turner's priority is the health and well-being of his patients. East Texas women are lucky he chose to practice there. Some of us come to Tyler from the Dallas area to get the kind of care we need and trust. Thank you, Dr. Turner.

He punctured my daughter's uterine artery duing a c- section and almost killed her. Leaving an ugly flap of skin hanging after fixing it.

He treated my granddaughter, and broke her baby’s collarbone, so she wouldn’t have too many stitches. Tell me how 1 stitch heals faster than 4 or 5? My poor great grandson now has to have physical therapy at 3 weeks old.

I have been a patient of Dr. Turner's since the mid 90's and he is the most caring, compassionate, knowledgeable doctor you will ever find. I would recommend anyone to see him for the best level of care.
