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.

Left a Soldier
He left my husband in terrible pain after a surgical procedure, his staff was shocked. Yes he's a soldier but he's not made of steel. Terrible.

My visit was great from beginning with the front office being so nice, and my visit was right on time. Also, meeting Dr Copeland was a wonderful experience too he is very nice, kind, and knowledgeable. Meeting him made me feel less anxious about my having surgery and after the holidays he will be my surgeon.

He and his staff are great. I had gallbladder surgery and it was a breeze! It was during COVID 19 so my husband couldn’t come in but Dr Copeland called my husband and his staff called him. Very pleased with his service

Treats patients as cattle, a product on an assembly line. Doesn't remember important patient conversations, or medical history. Doesn't review files before surgery or after making horrible mistakes. He almost killed me and I live with pain now everyday! I asked to talk with him prior to my surgery to remind him of my specific medical history & was refused & quickly sedated (so fast that I had trouble breathing). Later found out that I didn't even need the surgery. Do not trust!

I have seen reviews where they describe Dr Copeland as rude with no bedside manner, this is my experience at first I thought he was a little rough around the edges in the office but the day of surgery he was the most gentle and calm dr I have ever met I realized right then that the OR is where he belonged that's where he is his best kind of like putting House in the clinic lol he is an amazing surgeon and took the best care of me !
