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.

Amazing experience
Dr W. was incredibly professional. I also felt he had a perfect plan when treating my daughter. While others passed her issues off as nothing, he took a concise approach and made us feel at ease.When all else failed after 7 nights in the ER, he was able to pinpoint what was wrong. My daughter is happy and healthy again.Highly recommend.

I wrote a review on May 6, 2017 and I am writing another one to say they fixed the issue and worked with a great staff member to resolve what had happened. Very friendly and quickly moved to resolve anything. Will use Dr. W for future purposes.

Dr. W was my doctor for years until I was to old to be a patient anymore. He was by far the best doctor I have ever had. I drove a 4 hour commute just to see him because I refused to see anyone else. I wish I could still keep him as a doctor. Only one I have ever had that felt like they actually cared. Such an awesome guy also. Goes above and beyond for his patients.

Dr. Weerasooriya exceeded our expectations from day one. Our daughter had an appointment scheduled in his office at 11:30a one morning but never made it. She was admitted to Healthpark at 5:30a and he was there in 30 minutes!! Dr. W is very friendly, highly skilled, compassionate, and trustworthy. Our daughter's diagnosis of Crohn's with fistulas was difficult, but somehow he puts us at ease. Our daughter trusts & loves him!
