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.

Terrible
Dr was great until he missdiagnosed my dad's valve measurements telling us to come back in 4 months. Thank g d i knew about this from my mom and i scheduled him with a surgeon ASAP and first he's measurements were way off second if they were right and we waited the 4 months he might have not made it. Terrible and unsafe.

Today was my first visit and I have to say it was probably one of the best experiences I have ever had at a doctors office. From the welcoming decor to the super friendly women at the desk, right up to meeting the wonderful doctor. What a great experience. He took his time to answer all of my questions. He asked me lots of questions and I didn’t feel the least bit rushed. Kathy was so sweet and made me feel very comfortable. talking to her even lowered my blood pressure! I will definitely recommend them to anybody looking for a cardiologist on Staten Island.

Dr. Varughese spent more time with me in 1 hour that I spent with my other heart doctor in 5+ years. He listened intently and took the time out to actually talk with me and calmed my fears and concerns. The staff was equally easy to work with and operated at a high level. I highly recommend this doctor and his practice.

Had my first visit today with Dr Varughese. I can’t say enough about my experience. Office is lovely- a lot of thought put into decorating the waiting room which was warm and welcoming. Dr Varughese was kind and compassionate. He took his time and listened to all of my concerns. He offered comprehensive explanations and reassured me. When I left the office I felt like this was the first MD I’ve visited in a long time who really loves what he does and cares about his patients. Will be recommending him to other family Members.
