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 have had two open heart surgeries done by Dr. Kallin at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. He was absolutely amazing. He explained our options in great detail and provided the pros and cons for each of them. He made my family and I feel extremely confident of his skill and expertise. He checked up on me multiple times during my recovery in CTICU, which meant so much. I strongly recommend him to anyone needing Cardiothoracic surgery.

Dr. Kallin is an amazing surgeon. He truly is an artist, our daughter scars look so nice. He did a fantastic job and he is professional and explain everything so clear. I'm grateful for his dedication. I am looking forward a third surgery for my daughter. I am confident she is in great hands. Thank you very much. The Haskins family.

Dr. Kallin hs so far performed 3 major heart surgeries on our daughter, starting at just 8 days old. He held our precious little ones life in his very capable hands. He was always very straight forward with us, we appreciate him never sugar coating anything that could go wrong or how serious her condition is. We will be seeing him again soon for another heart surgery for our now beautiful almost 4 year old. Thank you Dr. Kallin Holthaus family
