Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Paul Mecherikunnel is a phenomenal doctor we were lucky to find and I recommend him in the highest possible terms. Dr. Mecherikunnel is the type of doctor everyone should be lucky enough to have--brilliant, thoughtful, compassionate, a good listener, and focused on healing his patients rather than padding bills with unnecessary procedures. If you are looking for a doctor who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and committed to your best interests, look no further.

This review comes years after the fact. As such details such as how staff acted, wait times etc. are mostly forgotten to me. What I can write about is what matters the most, the results of the actual hand surgery I saw the doctor for. My finger was fractured in 8 places and there was a real risk that I would not be able to use it again. Doctor M. restored all functionality to my finger and it has been working fine for over 6 years! Cannot recommend him enough!
