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.

Wonderful Cardiologist
I kept passing out. Others could not solve the problem. Went to 2 other cardiologist. They did a bunch of test - solved nothing. went to Mayo. Didn't help. Saw Dr Pedersen, he realized I had multiple problems causing me to pass out. One cause was a rare type of dysautonomia. I also had an inner ear problem contributing and had proprioceptive and balance problems. Dr Pedersen addressed each problem and after various interventions the problem frequency markedly decreased from daily occurrence to less than once a month. He changed my life.

Fantastic Recovery. Excellent Doctor
I had a very bad aortic valve. I was very limited. I was short of breath sitting in chair. No one would operate on me. Medicines did not help me. I saw Dr Pedersen -he did an operation that fixed my valve. I can now do things like go to mall and walk around without any breathing problem. Thanks Dr Pedersen. Excellent Outcome

Saved my mother's life.
My mom had a heart attack. She collapsed on the soccer field. Dr Pedersen did CPR and when the medics arrived, Dr Pedersen told the Medics to shock my mom. My mom eventually recovered. She got a implantable defibrillator.

Dr. Pedersen is a very smart doctor, but he is way overbooked. He recommended surgery for me, told me he would oversee the hospital, but I never saw him in 8 days of being there. I had complications from the surgery that still exist. He never informed that I get the complications I got. I needed immediate medical attention and he was MIA. Then he stood me up at a follow up appointment after waiting for him for 1 1/2 hours without a good reason. I do not recommend him at this time.
