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.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Dr. Kraemer saved my life. I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer in 1999 and Dr. Kramer preformed my debulking surgery shortly after my diagnoses. He gave me new hope! I would recommend Dr. 100%.

My husband received care for recurring diverticulitis. Surgery, post surgery care and review of patient status was caring and thoroughly explained. I would highly recommend his care for surgery or diagnosis in his specialty.

Was to have surgery and when I got there, the doctor was in a terrible mood. Chastised me and had absolutely no sympathy for my condition or pain. No surgery and sent me home with a 300.00 cream.
