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.

Great Doctor for IBD Management
Dr. Iroku exhibited great bedside manner and a high level of professionalism. I felt heard during my appointments and was able to collaborate with Dr. Iroku to ensure my healthcare needs were addressed. I would specifically recommend him to patients hoping to manage their IBD needs.

I have been a patient of Dr Iroku for 2+ years. He is professional, cares about my health, and the drive toward remission. My wife is a health care professional and shares the same opinion.

Special doctor
I have a chronic illness and see a lot of doctors. Dr. Iroku is one of those special kind of doctors who you are so lucky to find. I have never felt rushed during an appointment (I’m sure he has a full schedule), he LISTENS, he makes sure you are good with his treatment plans, and most importantly, he treats you like a human. Not just another anonymous patient in the que. He does not practice robot medicine. I feel he sincerely cares about you and your well being. We moved out of the city last year but will definitely be keeping him for as long as he is practicing.

Horrific physician. Made me wait four days for a virtual appt while in extreme pain, only to refuse me testing because I had “seen to many doctors” before him. I have a familial history of colon cancer and my condition is serious. My current doc is out on leave, I am in severe pain and need testing. My doctor SENT me to this doctor, who refused life-saving testing and treated me horribly. Run, don’t walk. Unless you want to wind up with colon cancer.
