"I have seen Dr. Hess now for over 2 years as he strived to correct another surgeons work. I had breast cancer in 1979 plus other cancers and have had many surgeries, reconstructive surgeries and implant replacement surgeries. With such a health history you learn who the good docs are. I have admired 3 in all those years. My cancer doc and the first reconstructive doc. Both very good but Dr. Hess makes them pale in my mind. He is a gifted surgeon without question but a good and caring man which only adds a plus to the man you see in his office. He takes my questions answers them truthfully and when I say but…I get that smile and a NO which has become a welcomed no as it calms and because than I see the heart of the man and it is a good one. In closing he is the BEST. And his staff is the same. As for Dr. Sandeen and Dr. Lee I have had the occasion to be treated by both and if those are the docs you choose don’t worry they too are great. I guess good men attract good people!! "

Data Transparency and Trust: Understanding WebMD Doctor Listings and Reviews

We know that finding the right doctor or provider is important to your health. That’s why we want to ensure you have confidence in the provider profiles and listings you see on WebMD Care. Our provider data is sourced from the physicians themselves as well as publicly available databases. Any doctor or provider who claims their profile by verifying themselves can update their information and provide additional data on their specialties, education, accepted insurances, conditions they treat, and procedures they perform.

All the physician and provider reviews on WebMD Care are provided by users just like you. Knowing these reviews provide insight into how other patients feel about a doctor, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews. Providers are not able to remove or modify reviews on their own. Reviews can only be removed after an internal review by our customer service team.

We value your input and encourage you to reach out to our support team if you encounter any issues.
