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.

Surgery for my child
Dr Ro told us she could had experience with the surgery my child needed but failed to tell us that it was years since she had actually performed the surgery and had never done so unassisted. We will not be coming back to this practice.

Wrong diagnosis nearly killed my child
Dr Ro was arrogant and did not ask for help when she was not the righ person to read my sons ultrasound.She sent him for a surgery he did not need and nearly killed him. Please do not ever see this doctor.

Truly awful experience
My daughter saw Dr Ro for fainting and dizziness. Dr Ro had her do the treadmill test and some breathing exercises, said her symptoms were all in her head and would be solved by losing weight. Daughter and I felt unheard and dismissed. 2 years ago, daughter was properly diagnosed by a different cardiologist with Overlap Syndrome of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and Neurocardiogenic Syncope. 1 year ago, she had a softball-sized tumor removed from her abdomen, a rare form of neuroendocrine cancer that affects adrenaline. So no, it wasn't just in her head. Dr Ro's testing team was also lacking in kindness. Truly awful experience.

Dr.Ro is absolutely wonderful! My daughter was 12 years old when she first had her scare with SVT. Dr. Ro was able to answer all of our questions and preformed a heart ablation that corrected the SVT. We would recommend her to anyone!
