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'm extremely pleased with Dr. Motavalli. She's knowledgeable, thorough, and friendly. She spends time with you, and wants to know the full picture. She works to do the best for you, and make sure you're comfortable with the treatment / meds selected. My wife usually attends my visits, and she's very receptive to both of our questions, and seems to appreciate that it helps to have another person present at a visit. 54 yo male for reference.

I have been a patient of Dr. Motavalli for 3 years, beginning after my prior cardiologist retired. She takes the time to listen to my current issues and explain clearly her decisions about medication and office visits. She is very easy to talk to.

I have been a patient of Dr Motavalli for the past 7 years and have received superb care and expert management of the multiple cardiovascular disorders I have been diagnosed with over the years. She possesses innate intelligence and treats my complex case with methodical expertise. Her honesty, kindness and tremendous compassion combined with astute clinical expertise are the attributes that qualify her as a cardiologist that I trust emphatically, as do others that I have referred to her.

I have a rare form of heart disease which my cardiologist in NYC was managing quite well. When I moved to NJ, I was referred to this cardiologist by my primary. As soon as she stepped into the consultation room with my medical report in hand me she was aghast and said I can't treat you, I only treat simple cases!! She seemed annoyed. I was shocked. After calling my ex-cardiologist, she said you will need to go back to NYC to see him as he knows your case better. I was still charged for the visit
