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.

Provides Excellent Heart Care
Having a family history of high blood pressure and high cholesterol, I needed a very good cardiologist. I had just received a very high score from a calcium body scan. I have been a patient of Dr. Koppes for about 7 years. I have a physical every year and I am always thankful for the great care he and his staff provide, whether it be an EKG, stress test or ultrasound. Everything is done either by Dr. Koppes or his long time staff. Dr. Koppes guided me through a high calcium test, we developed a heart plan, and my arteries are stable. I recently remarried and my husband also chose Dr. Koppes after trying another one closer to our house. We are both very happy. Thank you Dr. Koppes and Staff!

Great doctor. Spends time with me and answers all questions. Is able to perform and give immediate feedback on echocardiograms and doesn't charge "in hospital rates" like offices associated with Stone Oak Methodist does. I saved approx. $800 out of pocket per echo as a result.

I’ve been a patient of his for 42 years. He’s always been able to accurately evaluate my labs, various tests, and physical exam findings and prescribe the proper medications to keep me healthy. Being a physician myself I appreciate his competence. And he is highly regarded by the medical community.

Likely as good a cardiologist as one can find. Office staff and admin function well in doctor/patient relationship. No nonsense professional with dry sense of humor ... recommended!
