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.

Empathetic, knowledgeable and collaborative doctor
Dr. Pauwaa is an empathetic doctor. Incredibly knowledgeable around Cardiomyopathy and willing to take the time to explain risks and be thoughtful on recommendations. He researched and collaborated with other doctors to help determine the right path forward for our son's heart challenges and gave us confidence he is in good hands.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Pauwaa?
I greatly appreciate Dr. Pauwaa. He has been my cardiologist for over three and a half years and makes me feel as if I am his most important patient. The truth is, I am whenever I meet with him. He always seems to have the time to explain his observations and concerns to me so that I can understand. He explains the choices I have and allows me the time to make a decision. I have never felt he is in a hurry to get to the next patient. When he makes a decision, he communicates with my other doctors to see how that decision will affect what they have observed and are doing.

Dr. Pauwaa is one of the best doctors I've ever had (and unfortunately, I've had more than my share). He is extraordinarily intelligent, knowledgeable, and thorough and is so articulate and honest when explaining a diagnosis, prognosis, or while answering any questions. But what puts him above and beyond the rest is his empathy, kindness, and compassion. He really, really cares about his patients and you'll definitely walk out of there knowing you are in good hands. I highly recommend him!!

He is passionate about care, and goes above and beyond for patients and families. He spent a large amount of time with me while hospitalized, then spent time with my wife and I late at night when other doctors had gone home. He stayed late and explained my condition to us in terms we could understand and didn't rush through. He isolated the cause of my problem when other doctors could not. The best doctor I have!
