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.

Aortic valve replacement, which was done better than anyone else can; he is the best in all aspects. I would not hesitate to trust him completely for any cardio procedures and follow-up. Total professional.

Hello Doc, I believe that you did a heart bypass surgery on me nearly 22 years ago. Were you the head of heart surgery at St. Vincent's hospital then? This is a good hearted message, no pun intended. You were honest and told me 10-12 years if 15 then consider a very lucky man. If 20 you wanted to know how. Now 22 years and still feel eh,. I hope you get this message and I have the correct Surgeon. Still kicking and causing fun. Sincerely John A Wallaszek. Can't tell you the how, haha

I am very happy I chose to meet and have Dr Jeffrey Swanson as my Surgeon. He truely radiated and practices compassionate care. I had zero doubts that I was in good hands. His reputation as foremost in the nation in his field preceded my meeting and he easily answered all our questions. Best of all, I am happy and well now, with a two stepping marathoners heart? ??
