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.

The doctor Repeats same procedure more than once in short period of time and the feedback given months later is vague. So you’re left to worry about your heart. The office staff not helpful. Not good

I have been going to Dr. Weckesser going on 3 years. Just had my yearly stress test. Once again I was so impressed I had to share. The office has always been spotless. Today they did everything recommended by CDC and then some. Diane at the front desk always greets you with a friendly smile. The 2 nurses that did my chemical stress test helped keep my mind off what was happening to my body as the test progressed by a little humor which really helped. They made the test a breeze. I appreciated that. Dr. Weckesser really cares about his patients & takes the time to explain everything. I would highly recommend him.

Absolutely. Dr. Weckesser cares for my mother, husband and children. He is an excellent diagnostic cardiologist. His office is fantastic, employees professional and make patients feel like they are "home" I have had many friends and relatives get poor treatment from hospital owned physicians and staff. Dr. Weckesser will send you for further testing if he is concerned about your health. He will send you to the best on your insurance plan. He doesn't order unnecessary tests.

I would NEVER recommend Dr. Weckesser! He ordered a serious procedure, an arteriogram of the kidneys, which after the procedure Dr. Weckesser?s staff discovered this procedure was meant for ANOTHER patient whose report was filed in my medical records. When he found out, he stated it had happened before and apologized by not charging for the office visit. Also, the other patient had not been informed of the needed procedure. Medicare and secondary paid twice! His staff does most of
