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 just did surgery on my husband and left. Didn’t speak to me to let me know how it went. Nothing. He left! How rude.

He doesn’t listen (no time). I had questions about inflammation and he couldn’t (or wouldn’t) give me thorough information as I was concerned about my fatty liver having something to do with it. I asked 3 times (different ways) (still was ignored). He said I should talk with my Primary who is the one treating me. If that is the case, why am I seeing Dr. Ancha? .

Dr. Ancha did both my wife’s and mine colonoscopy. He was very thorough and we had no issues with him at all. I will and are using him again soon and always.

I had a colonoscopy with Dr. Ancha. Due to him not performing a biopsy on my colon, I had to have another one just to figure out the problem. He was also very rude to me.

Dr. Ancha saved my mother in law life. She was visiting in Joplin and suddenly started losing blood from her small bowel just beyond the stomach. He took excellent care of her, stopped the bleeding. He is truely a great doctor and a gentleman who explained everything to us. He stopped aspirin and put her on anti acid medicine and she never bled after that. If I need personally a scope, he is definitely the one for me.
