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.

Bad outcome
I had laparoscopic gallbladder surgery 18 months ago and got a nick on my auxiliary bile duct which leaked bile into my body cavity. I was then transferred to Bismarck to have a stent placed at the end of the bile duct to enable the nick to heal. I returned for a follow-up visit to have the drain tube removed and at the suggestion of my sister and her husband (her a nurse and her husband a physician) asked if I should be put on an antibiotic. Dr Thompson said he saw no need for that. Fast forward 2 weeks; I was transported to ER by ambulance and informed that I had a large abscess where my gallbladder used to be which was leaking into my bloodstream and that I was in septic shock. I was airlifted to Fargo and was hospitalized for 10 days. Plus 2 weeks of daily antibiotic infusions after I’m home. Fargo Dr’s said bile is terribly full of bacteria and anytime it’s out of its designated tubes you have problems. I had kidney failure (temporary) and a type 2 heart attack.
