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.

excellent doctor
I've been a patient for nearly 20 years. I've had two surgeries for cancer. He is an outstanding doctor who explains everything. He is very conscientious. He probably saved my life.

Dr. Zappala diagnosed my Prostate Cancer in December of 2010. He removed my prostate in January 2011. Pathological examination assigned the cancer a Gleason score of 9. I received follow up radiation and hormone therapy. I have had very little trouble with bladder control and almost six years out I have a non-detectable PSA. Statistically I had a 15% chance of survival. Thanks to his skill and great follow up therapies I have managed to get through that window. Thanks doc.
