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.

The worst doctor I have ever met in my entire life. Misdiagnosis and refusal to perform biopsy (despite repeated requests) for several visits during a one year period by Sugg only to find out it was in fact cancer causing treatment to be delayed by one year. Arrogant. Does not listen to the patient.

Dr. Sugg is amazing. Extremely competent, caring and wonderful with patients and their families. Dr. Sugg's bedside manner is only surpassed by her skills as a surgeon and CARE TAKER! She is very good at explaining options and recommending the healthiest care plan. Her staff is well chosen, competent and under great leadership. Dr. Sugg and her staff take extra time to ensure you understand what is going to happen and what risks are involved. My trust in Dr. Sugg is 110%

Dr. Sugg is a great surgeon. She helped me with breast cancer. She has pioneered techniques that help with a great visual outcome. She takes time with patients. She is a good communicator. Highly recommend.

I found Dr. Sugg to be so competent, personal, and attentive. Amazing to me that she is a surgeon--who I've found don't necessarily have the best bedside manner!
