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.

Arrogant, avoidant of conversation he appeared to find unnecessary. Talked over patient. Blatantly rude, rolled eyes when patient attempted to speak. This “skilled” cardiologist refused to allow patient to have pertinent questions answered or even asked. Caters to younger patients and not geriatric population. Raised voice to patient and family when he disagreed. Due to just these things alone, and as a medical professional I would not recommend Dr. Isserman. Poor provider and totally lacked empathy which is of great importance. Smug and name dropped other cardiologists names and made it known of his personal relationships with these specializing cardiologists. Skewed insight for a physician.

Excellent Cardiologist
Clearly explained all aspects of my condition and the treatment plan. Listened and answered all my questions. One of the best physicians I have encountered in a long time.

Recently moved to western NC and was concerned about finding a cardiologist. After my first visit, I am satisfied Dr. Isserman is an answer to prayer.

Great doctor. Really listened to me and came up with the correct diagnosis. A+ Did his best to put me on all generic medications to help save money. Nice that he even though to do that, not every doctor does that.
