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.

He did a terrible job operating on my stoma. I would not recommend him at all. I’m emotionally damaged

He has no remorse for mutilating patients. His education from the military is a joke. The Cleveland clinic was once a great hospital but it’s now a chop shop

The Best
I would not be alive if not for Dr. Steele. His knowledge, advice, and skill have guided me through a journey with cancer. Dr. Steele is an amazing Doctor and even better man. I owe him my life and the quality of the life he has enabled me to have. Dr Steele is honest and upfront in a compasionate way but, does not hide or deminish possible issues. I am older than him but, he made me feel like he was my older brother. I could write for days about the positive atributes of Dr. Steele. I hopee to God none of my family or friends have to go through what I have but, if so, I will make sure they see Dr. Steele Bart L. Norville- Mar 21, 2023

Dr Scott Steele is an amazing physician. I underwent a colonoscopy with him and his staff. Everyone was amazing. They were the kindest, most caring, professional healthcare providers that I have been around. Such good people. He explained everything, answered questions, worked incredibly well with his staff, and always had time to listen. He and his group do so many of these procedures they have become experts.

After 3 years of diagnostic uncertainty and severe chronic back pain,I reached out to Dr Steele for consultation and a second option regarding surgery. Dr Steele presented as a caring, empathetic and confident surgeon who succinctly diagnosed and formulated a surgical treatment plan during my virtual visit. Although I realized I was in for a rough road, I felt relieved and confident that I found the right surgeon.Dr Steele’ entire staff and wonderful, PA, Hannah, took good care of me. There are many Surgeons, but only one Dr Steele. Thank You. Domenick

Horrible experience. He refused to address my concerns, refused to consider medical history and refused to do an exam. Left me in tears with doctor-associated PTSD.
