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.

Dr. Kwa understands the athletic heart!
I recommend Dr. Kwa for serious, competitive athletes. Our hearts are just different, and he has experience with pro-athletes, and understands that our heart's chambers are bigger, and normally pump slower, etc. After going through serious complications in my pregnancy, and having many others recommend heart surgery to treat pregnancy induced A-fib, he got me through it with a few medications that last a couple of months. I no longer need anything, and I am glad I did not listen to all of the other doctors who just wanted to cut me open.

Bad bedside manner
Dr. Kwa is a moody disrespectful person. He may be good at surgery I would not no but he was not a good understanding or caring doctor to me.

Dr. Kwa put a stent to treat my father’s heart attack. He gave a very clear diagnosis and was very effective. His evidence based explanation and confidence made my father very comfortable with the treatment plan and operation. My father was happy with the results and quick recovery.

I'm alive today because of Dr. Kwa's skill as a surgeon. Dr. Kwa has a genuinely kind and caring nature, he came in on his day off to check on me, he made sure I had enough meds to carry me over to a pharmacy. 5 stars seems so inadequate to express my appreciation for Dr. Kwa.

Dr Kwa treated my husband after he was misdiagnosed at the hospital. After 24 hour discharge a friend refered my husband to Dr Kwa, who immediately saw my husband, scheduled an angiogram and placed 1 stint, while also confirming that my husband survived his heart attack due to his strong fitness level. Dr Kwa saved my husbands life.! This earns Dr Kwa 5 GIANT stars??
