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.

Dr. Shashi is very 'to the point', but he is also very understanding of his patients' concerns and does a great job of explaining the procedure that he feels is best for each individual and situation.

Dr Divakaruni is treating my mother , 87 for blockage in her leg, clots and stones. He is very thorough and personable and open about what he chooses and why certain procedures, and shows me videos of what he has done. He answers questions thoroughly. I really trust this Dr and appreciate his openness. And he also open about possible complications . Excellent overall! Rosemarie

I had dealt with a lot of cardiologists while being a care taker for several family members, but from the first meeting Dr. Divakaruni was different. I already had been told about how great a doctor he was, but that day I also learned that he also was a warm and caring man that really cared about his patients. I would gladly recommend this man to anyone needing a cardiologist. He is easy to talk with, and very attentive to his patients needs and feelings. He deserves 10 stars and not those 5.
