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.

Been my G.I. Doc for 15 years.
Whenever I come in for a checkup it's like visiting with a friend- a very knowledgeable friend. Recently had some digestive issues. Sean put me at ease, told me that it was a common problem and recommended some otc meds. NBD.I've recommended him to my wife who has a great experience with him as well.

I never met Dr. Sheehan but in August 2019 I went to St.Peter’s ER with severe upper abdomen pain. The staff was treating me for a heart situation. The pain was increasing. I had a scan which with results as possible pancreatitis. Dr Sheehan happened to be on duty that night and told the staff it was my gallbladder and to find a surgeon. My gallbladder was gangrenous and close to sepsis. Dr. Sheehan saved my life. I never knew his name until today when I was going through some paperwork. Thank you….I always wanted to Thank Dr. Sheehan but after trying to find out the gastroenterologist on duty that night I gave up trying. Thank You so much Dr. Sheehan

Dr. Sheehan has been my gastro physician for more than ten years. At the time of my first colonoscopy, his enquiries found that I had a serious reflux disorder, and his attention then seems to have saved me very serious consequences.
