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.

Even though I was initially not happy with Dr. Shah over his focus on other medical conditions not related to my cardiology, I later on realised that the treatment may be holistic and requires the doctor being aware of other medical conditions. I am quite happy with Dr. Shah.

Dr. Shah is a devoted cardiologist and a very caring person. One of my family members has been going to him for years and he has explained diligently all pros and cons so clearly. Not only he explains nicely, he goes the extra mile that is so commendable. I recommend Dr. Shah to anyone and everyone seeking to see a cardiologist.
