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.

Hiatal Hernia Surgery
Dr Campbell was an excellent choice for my hiatal hernia surgery. He explained the procedure well and I felt very at ease. The surgery was a success and I feel great. Thankful for the staff at Parkwest as well. Very kind and caring people

Dr. Campbell was my Dad's surgeon. My Dad has a rare tumor that is high risk, but Dr. Campbell has operated at least twice (once on a hernia) resulting in relief each time from symptoms. He has always taken the utmost time and showed concern for my Dad, even calling him at home on a weekend just to check on him. That is pretty special.

When I was in the hospital, he did not answer my questions. He did understand that I had a second major problem related to place my surgery. He did not schedule me for a follow up appointment, I was in a lot of pain . I had to go to my primary doctor to get message follow up treatment l needed. Terrible experience.

Dr. Campbell was my Mom's surgeon and you could ask for a better doctor. He is patient and explains everything to not only the patient but family members as well. I will always appreciate him for caring for my Mother for many years.

Dr. Campbell fixed my hernia on a Thursday and I was walking four miles by Saturday. I took one narcotic pain pill before I left the hospital and took none while I was at home. After four days I was doing one hour on the elliptical machine and back to work in five days. I have been taking only Ibuprofen and feel great. Great surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone. --Luke M.
