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.

Misread heart catherization. Minimal valve disease. Recommended meds & medical follow up in future. Surgeon replaced one non functioning valve & major repair to 2nd. Pacemaker with 3 week hospital stay. 1 yr later I was referred to him for leg vascular problems. After test he again recommended to see him in 1 year. The actual test results indicate severe blockage. Thank goodness I remain under the care of my surgeon. Planned angioplasty with stents and possible arterial bypass grafts. I rate him no stars.
