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.

No sensitivity when delivering bad news
Had good reviews on web and was optimistic when my spouse went in for heart catheterization. After the procedure while he was discussing results, I asked a question which apparently he didn't like or felt challenged by, and he just snapped at me. I thought it was incredibly insensitive especially when he is in the process of conveying information that came as quite a shock to us both not to mention just basically rude. If this is his level of compassion and tolerance, I wouldn't recommend him unless you are one of those people who believes all doctors are gods and you blindly accept everything they say without inquiry. But if you're going to cut someone's chest open and change them forever, I think we have a right to ask questions.

I had a lot of anxiety about the procedure. I had a similar procedure several years ago in Georgia and it was a horrible experience. I truly feel like the staff and physicians took the time to listen to my concerns. They took the steps to make the procedure as painless as possible. I appreciate them all very much!!
