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.

I found DR. Skipper to be highly competent. He replaced my Aortic valve in 2015 and my evaluations ,with my cardiologist, since have been excellent. I highly recommend Dr. Skipper and chose him based on recommdations and research.

Dr. Skipper repaired my mitral valve around 2008 and did a great job. He is a great surgeon and I highly recommend him.
