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.

Impossible to schedule an appointment. His office keeps telling us to call back later because they don’t have his schedule. I have been calling his office about 10 times in the course of last 3-4 months without any luck. He spends most of his time for his lucrative invasive cardiology neglecting his other patients.
