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 was so nervous to have my heart cath done...just had no idea what to expect. Dr. Blankenship came in to talk to me before the procedure, and I immediately felt better. He told me he had a great team, and he was right!!! Everyone was awesome, eased my fears, and it was over before I knew it. Also, came in after as well to explain everything again. Top Notch!

Dr. Blankenship did my heart cath, almost two years ago. As a horrified 21 year old going into this, he was wonderful. I felt confident and trusted him. I could not have asked for a better cardiologist.
