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.

Almost impossible to get an appointment sooner than 45-60 days ahead. When something is wrong with your heart you don’t need to wait that long.

We've only met him a couple of times and have been very satisfied seeing him. Knowledgeable and down to earth person. He explains things in a way we can understand, very friendly and cheerful. We would recommend him to anyone.
