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.

When I met Dr. Galtes five years ago, one of the first things he told me is that his aim was to get me well! This was a first impression that I have shared with many people. It was a stark contrast to another "respected" cardiologist in town that wanted to put me on all sorts of meds!

Dr. Galtes was preparing me saying I had a penetrating ulcer on my aorta. Asked to come to his office right after CT scan. The scan comes back normal. He says " no way these bulges don't just go away." He told me he would get back to me later that day. Didn't hear from him for a week. Seeing another cardiologist who did further testing. Different issue, but needs treatment. Now they are charging $1 per page for my records. So disappointed!
