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.

Great Doctor
Excellent doctor that took time to talk to me, answer my questions, and never made me feel rushed. Very personable and answered all my medical questions. I would recommend him to anyone.

He has a great bedside manner. I very thankful he is here in Knoxville. He was President Ronald Reagan's doctor... enough said.

My husband’s GI
Brilliant doctor, great bedside manner. He came in and spoke with me after my husband’s procedure. He was a referral from a neighbor and I thank the Lord they did so. I did research in him, even won a Presidential award from Ronald Regan (and was his GI doc)! We are so very lucky to have him here in Knoxville TN!!!

Researched area Gastroenterologists and discovered Dr. Sarkis Chobanian. His credentials are outstanding and has been recognized for his contributions nationally. You don't become President Reagan's physician without the credentials. Great personality and bedside manner. He has a passion for his patients and for his profession. Highly recommended.

I can't believe how good of a doctor Dr. Chobanian is. I have had digestive issues for years, pain etc. After many years of not getting anywhere a friend recommended Dr. Chobanian. He was very thorough, however careful not to break my bank with unnecessary tests. He found out I have SMA Syndrom, although not nice to have, I'm very thankful he was able to pinpoint what is going on. Dr. Chobanian is also a very kind and positive doctor. Glad I'm being taken care of by him!!
