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.

Dr. Bessen is an exceptional cardiologist. I attribute him with saving my life. After my first examination with Dr. Bessen, he determined that my blood flow was unacceptable and ordered a test and within 4 days I underwent triple bypass surgery. That was 14 years ago. He’s the best. I trust him completely and highly recommend Dr. Bessen!
