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.

Very kind and professional- covered everything well.

From the reviews I read I have a hard time believing this was the same person. Everyone has bad days so I try to think of it in that regard. He didn't introduce himself. He seemed impatient at the beginning. Some of his comments on my life choices were demeaning. He gave me an alternative surgery given I wasn't willing to take contraceptives, but didn't give me time to ask further questions about that surgery. I couldn't get to my car fast enough to cry. Other than this encounter I've had nothing but positive interactions with every single staff I've ever dealt with. For that reason I decided to make s as new appointment with a new surgeon. I'm fine with getting the same answer. I just want it presented to me without the condescending undertone and I would like to discuss the alternative surgery to make sure that's a good choice to proceed with. I'm hoping I can get that this second time around.
