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.

A really amazing down to earth guy.
He's amazing. That's all I can say really. Because of him I have some more time with my father. I couldn't thank him enough when I would see him at the hospital after my dads surgery. My father had 3 completely blocked arteries and another at 90%. Dr Powell performed a quadruple bypass surgery and my dads still here with us. Thank you Dr Powell if you ever see this.

Dr. Powell was my wife's cardiac surgeon. He performed six bypasses on her heart. Both of us couldn't be happier with his skill as a surgeon, his professionalism and his personality. He's a fantastic surgeon and seems to be an awesomely great guy. Some doctors/surgeons have this "movie star" personality, an affectation, you know? Not Dr. Powell. He's down-to-earth and at the same time actually IS a star without having to try. We appreciate him very much, along with his excellent staff.

I needed surgery quickly because of difficulties with my insurance. When my surgeon was unable to do the surgery. Dr. Powell one of my Dr. 's partners stepped in. He was able to do the Vats surgery on me. My healing time was minimal I have talked to other people who had the same surgery. There healing time was much longer than mine not to mention much more painful. I was very grateful for the good job that he did and would recommend Dr. Powell to anyone needing surgery?.
