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.

My appointment
The check-in process is easy. I was called to an exam room shortly after I checked in. The girl I had take my vitals and do an ekg was very nice. Dr Fertels came in and was his cheery self. He takes the time to listen to you and address your questions. He’s compassionate and caring. I definitely would recommend him.

Recent Visit and Examination
Dr. Fertels is such a caring and concerned practioner. He explained in detail the results of recent lab tests and prescribed the appropriate course of action. He and his staff facilitated the imediate scheduling of a heart catherization. Dr. Fertels treated me like was his only patient and I'm so grateful. If you are looking for a Cardiologist-look no further.

Easy check in. Only about a 5 minute wait before I was called. The nurse verified all my info. She also hooked me up for an EKG. Dr. Fertels came in within minutes of her leaving. He discussed my lab reports and was very pleased with my progress. He is a pleasure to talk to. Highly recommended.

I found Dr. Fertels very abrasive and insensitive. He needs to think of the patient's concerns and perspective before he speaks. I would not recommend Dr. Fertels to anyone!
