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.

Great doctor
Dr. Dinkler is kind, caring, and a wonderful doctor. He really listens.

Follow up visit
Dr. Dinkler reviewed my blood test results and decided with me to stay on the same statin regimen. He always wants to make sure you get enough exercise and have an active and healthy lifestyle. Dr. Dinkler is very thorough and a good listener. I would recommend him to my friends and family.

Exactly what you want & need from a cardiologist!
Dr. Dinkler is a polished pro. He gets right to the heart (double entendre intended) of the matter by succinctly explaining your condition in understandable terms. Very engaging, professional and doesn't miss a beat (sorry, unintended). Gets his behavioral recommendations delivered without scolding or brow-beating. Best thing is he's interested in your having the best outcome for your sake - not the sake of meeting some metric! I highly recommend him!
