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 am taking a medication that requires a cardiologists supervision and monitoring and his office went through all the steps to qualify. It was also established that I had high blood pressure at that initial visit. His PA was very kind and helpful. When I had a negative reaction to the meds and returned Dr Farrugia sat with me until my blood pressure lowered. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Farrugia

Terrible staff and horrible people skills
I had the worst experience with the office person who checked me in. She was rude and arrogant and showed no customer service skills at all. I judge a doctor by the people he places in his organization. I walked out before my appointment. Terrible time.

Dr. Farrugia is the best Cardiologist I have ever been too! He treats his patients like family. He goes the extra mile to support both patient and family members! My husband and I both have heart conditions and we can testify to his caring nature. My husband was hospitalized with a severe brain bleed and hospitalized for 32 days. Dr. Farrugia answered calls when we needed information of my husbands stents! He made time to take calls n really cared for my well being as well! Does hesitate to have him care for you!

I was scheduled to have Dr. Farrugia do an angioplasty. Before the procedure I explicitly told Dr. Farrugia that I did not want to be stented unless it was a medical emergency. Despite my instructions, Dr. Farrugia unsuccessfully attempted to stent me 5 times! He claims it was a medical emergency and wanted to try again. That was 18 months ago - hardly an emergency. I have decided to treat my condition medically but my health has significantly deteriorated since Dr. Farrugia's attempted stenting
