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.

TAVR Procedure

Dr. Shawl listens to your health concerns while deciding what tests are needed to diagnose the problem. Dr. Shawl's team is also very well educated and interested in explaining everything that is going to happen during the testing phase before your final diagnosis.

I wish there were more doctors like Dr.Fayaz Shawl
Being a trained physician specializing in Clinical Research, I rarely spend time writing any reviews. Fourteen years ago, I had incidental findings that my heart was not getting enough blood, indicating a block in the coronary vessels. I consulted my cardiologist friends spread over many states in the USA. They all agreed that I should see Dr. Fayaz Shawl. I still thank them for their perfect recommendation. Dr. Shawl has been my cardiologist for the last fourteen years since he performed my cardiac catheterization and put the first stent in my main left coronary artery in a single visit. He put a second one about five years ago. After my appointment earlier today, I decided to share my experience in the form of a review to benefit others who might be looking for the best intervention cardiologist. Dr. Shawl is a perfect example of what a good doctor should do. I give him five stars in all the categories I can think of, (1) The competence of the physician, (2) The thoroughness of the

TAVR patient has rave review!
Dr. Shawl performed a TAVR to insert a new aortic valve inside my old 2005 model bovine valve. There was a complex constellation of symptoms and findings that needed sorted out in real time as the functionality of my old valve was declining daily. From my first meeting with Dr. Shawl, throughout the collaborative process with my cardiologist and a significant team of professionals, I was impressed and grateful with how professional, yet highly personal my case and condition were to him. I'll never forget the moment when everything came together and he came into my hospital room to share with confidence that the TAVR would resolve my failing heart issues. I thought to myself "This guy really cares! Not only is he a renowned expert, but my success is personal for him!" For me to live, the procedure had to work. I'm eternally grateful for the great care I got!

Amazing Caring Patient Focused Cardiologist
I have had the pleasure of knowing and been a patient of Dr. Fayez Shawl for 26 years. My first encounter with Dr. Shawl I was referred by my Family Doctor to Dr. Shawl... That referral saved my life! After a thorough office visit and diagnostic procedures, it became apparent to Dr. Shawl that both of my Carotid Arteries were virtually completely blocked " I was a proverbial walking time bomb" hours, minutes, days away from a fatal health event. Over the years, Dr. Shawl has diagnosed and successfully stented several blocked arteries in my heart (LAD and RCA) with no complications and also performed angioplasty in my heart as well! Dr. Shawl and his team, in the office and the Catheterization Laboratory are all top flight phenomenal professionals totally focused on the patient and family, just as Dr. Shawl is. Without a doubt, I know that I'm here now, writing this review all because of the amazing care and innovations in Cardiac Interventional Medical Procedures ofDr. Shawl.

My Experience
My experience dating to 2009 with Dr Shawl has been excellent. After a bad experience of disinterest with another provider, I was referred to Dr. Shawl. I quickly got an appointment at which he diagnosed a serious condition and scheduled me for surgery. I had four major blockages two at 90+%. I could have died at anytime. He treated me with 3 stents & controlled the 4th block with medication. I knew that I came out of the anesthesia, I could tell that I felt better. Over the past thirteenth years, I have stayed with Dr Shawl. There have been 2 more stents. Through a schedule of care, he has carefully monitored my heart health. He is caring & keeps me informed. I like his direct conversation & that he listens to my concerns. I have no doubt that I am alive due to his care. His staff is wonderfully professional and friendly and his being located in a lovely new hospital have made the care even better.
