Happy Thursday Everyone!

I'm again seeking your help and input.  I'm really having a hard time finding recent reviews of my surgeons even though I live in Phoenix, AZ...a large metropolis!  Where did you find reviews for your surgeons?  BTW...I've already looked here and one is listed but only with 2 reviews.  The others are not listed at all.  :(

There are some reviews for surgeons here, as well as on places like healthgrades and yelp.

What surgeon are you looking for? I can help sleuth :)

Hi suzyq584

Not knowing what surgeon you are looking for, here is a link to all surgeons in AZ.  Click the name of the surgeon and it will take you to their profile.  Click the second tab "Reviews" to read our members experience with that surgeon.

If you need further help let us know by emailing at [email protected]

Thank you so much!   I swear when I went there previously there were only 2 reviews.  From the 26 I read, it sounds as though he is well recommended.

I think what it was you were on the 'highlight' tab and there was a separate 'reviews' tab. Glad I could help.

I couldn't find any reviews on my prospective surgeon, so I asked my PCP (who has taken wonderful care of my husband and me for many years) what he thought of the surgeon. He said he had heard good things about this surgeon. That was enough for me. My surgeon and his team have turned out to be superb, pre-, during, and post-op. Since my first choice had been Johns Hopkins and I left because of the many reservations I had about their program, it's saying a lot about my current team. It's a shame you have to live in Pennsylvania to take advantage of this outstanding surgeon. There should be about 100 clones of him.

If you have confidence in your current health care providers, ask them about the surgeon. If he has a doubtful reputation, they won't come right out and say so, but you'll get the drift. If he's good, they'll tell you that, too. Good luck.

Thanks!  I'm going to see my PCP tomorrow.  I will definitely ask him.
