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, Pieper has been my Dr. since 2009, that is when I had a pacemaker . He is an excellent doctor and always listens to all your questions.

Dr. Pieper has been my “heart electrician“ since 2006. I have full confidence in his judgement concerning my care. He is the best in my book and truly cares about you. Never rushes your questions and gets to know about you as a total person. He recommended I see a sleep doctor for apnea and that was life changing for me. Everyone on staff at the heart center are amazing people too. I am in excellent hands for my heart health! ??

Not happy with the care I received. Still having the same issues and nothing has been resolved after 6 months. Don’t ever question him or ask questions about your care, it seems to annoy and anger him.

Wife recently had heart troubles. Spent hours looking for the best cardiologist in STL “on paper.” That led us to Dr. Stephen J. Pieper. He is incredible. One of the most intelligent and wisest men you will ever meet. We are grateful we found him and his staff. He is the doctor that I would trust the care of my mother, wife, or daughter.

I really like him. He seems very passionate about his job, yet is one of the most humble docs I have ever spoken with. Very intelligent and well-spoken, does not talk down to you at all. He was very respectful of my input and choices and I really appreciated that. I have been a heart patient for nearly eight years, and I would definitely recommend him.

Not only is Dr. Pieper very intelligent and an excellent cardiologist but he is a very kind and personable individual. He is genuinely interested in his patients but he is very grounded. I appreciate the fact that he spends time explaining procedures , and you don't feel like you walk away with more questions than what you had originally.The world is a better place because of Dr. Pieper..
