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.

Amazing Doctor
Dr Cardinale came in from home on his day off to treat my Dad. How many Doctors would do that. Not very many. He made my Dad feel at ease from the first visit. His Staff is just as amazing as he is with patients and their families. They treat you with respect and dignity. Thank you Dr Cardinale and Staff.

Dr Cardiis a wonderful knowledgeable and superior general surgeon. He has operated on me 3 times and my recovery went well. He is teaching Residents his skill and if they are half as good as him they will be great surgeons. He listens to your concerns and proactively responds to them to put you at ease. I highly recommend him to anybody in need of surgery.

I would not recommend Dr. Cardinale to anyone. In the first meeting with Dr. Cardinale, I mentioned no mesh for my upcoming surgery & even signed a paper stating no mesh to be used in the surgery. The day of the surgery, he stated that he was going to use mesh. I strongly told him AGAIN that I did not want mesh to be used. Instead he made multiple incisions and used dissolvable sutures. Because of the dissolvable sutures I now have to have surgery again! My advice: Find another doctor fast
