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.

Great Surgeon. Very friendly and thorough. He was able and willing to adjust his schedule to get me in as soon as he could. He is very professional , he listened attentively and took his time to explain everything in detail. I wouldn’t want anyone else to do my next cardiovascular surgery.

I'm a 75 years old female with high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. He placed a mesh on my right leg. I didn't feel anything during the procedure I thought that was the norm. My cardiologist suggested other surgeon, he was closer to my home so I switch. This procedure was a torture I was awake during procedure and it hurt and left the operating room with an IV incerted to my artery for a nurse to remove 3 hrs later. I,m still bleeding after 5ds later. I hope I surviveprayDr.Vcanseeme
