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.

Always professional, caring, informative, positive, and knowledgeable.

Not great.
I saw DR. Kazzaz on my first visit only I have been about 4 times. Dr.Kazzaz was great to talk with and made me feel welcome and heard throughout the visit. Interactions with scheduling staff have been pretty unprofessional (blamed me for their mistake which cost me lots of money). Then, I saw some guy I never met before on my second visit who made unprofessional remarks about my symptoms and didn’t take them seriously.

Top notch cardiologist
I have been very pleased with the care I have received from Dr. Kazzaz and her associates. Office staff is professional, friendly, and helpful. Dr Kazzaz knows her stuff, is no-nonsense, and will give it to you straight. She truly cares about the health of her patients. So glad I found her!

Poor scheduling, inflexible office staff
Had an appointment but wanted to do a tele health appointment which they do. Was told no as they needed to do a simple EKG. I requested that my PCP do it sending it to them, or my local hospital...no. I have an elderly parent, an intellectually disabled brother and try to avoid covid at all cost ...so I decided to cancel that appointment based on safety. I was dropped from Dr. Kazazz, office staff also wrote on my file non compliant with appointments..this was literally one appointment I had canceled. Cardiologists are not accepting me due to this statement on my record. This is contrary to the Hippocrates oath...do no harm...and unethical.

Dr. Kazaaz is excellent. She genuinely cares about her patients. She is thorough and patient. I might not be here today had it not been for Dr. Kazzaz!

You see Dr. Kazzaz on your first appointment , thereafter it is techs, PA's and nurses. Furthermore, they are inflexible with scheduling procedures to be done at one appointment. Living about an hour away and the price of gas this is costly visits in many ways.

I wish the English Language had better words to describe Dr. Kazzaz! I was lucky enough to have my original Dr. at the practice leave and was assigned to Dr. Kazzaz. The most important thing that I can say is this: She treats you like you are her ONLY patient. She cares for you like your best friend would! And NOT ONCE has she ever made me feel like It's my fault that my heart isn't the best...quite the opposite! Sometimes in your life, thanks to God, you meet a truly incredible human being...and I was blessed beyond imagine meeting Dr. Nellie! YOU ROCK Dr. Nellie Kazzaz, where you go! So don't retire! I have many years left before that! Thanks to you! <3 Rachel Rush, your biggest fan!

Dr. Kazzaz singlehandedly saved my husband's life. Without her he would not have received the amazing care he required. She went out of her way to help us in every way imaginable. Other Dr.'s should take a class from her.

She was on call for my mothers cardiologist. My mother had a vest that was an external defibrillator that was malfunctioning and of course all of us were very concerned and scared. When we called Dr. Kazzaz, she was rude and acted very inconvenienced! This woman had not one ounce of compassion! She will never be allowed anywhere near me or my family! She needs some humanitarian studies!

Very, very thorough and professional. We switched to her and SJH Cardiology from another cardiology group (I felt things were just not being addressed) and are very glad we did - she started the ball rolling on discovering my husband's severe coronary artery disease resulting in successful four-vessel bypass surgery. Without her skilled treatment, assessment, and referrals my husband might not still be here and doing as well as he is.
