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.

Annual Cardiac Followup
As always, good discussion of current health exercise and planning for upcoming procedures with other physicians.

Very skilled surgeon
Dr. Truesdell did my cardiac catheterization and did such an amazing job that I was only left with a small pinprick - no bruising or soreness post procedure. I had this done elsewhere previously and my wrist was black and blue for almost a month post surgery. Definitely recommend him and his team. They definitely know what they are doing.

I had to see Dr. Truesdell because my usual doctor (Dr. Marc Vives) had an emergency. Unfortunately, my experience with Dr. Truesdell was one of the worst I had. His bedside manners were horrible. When I asked about how long I will be taking the med and whether it can be tapered off at some point, he responded in a very aggressive manner and made me even more concerned and anxious. I'm a tough cookie, and can take bad news, but rudeness, never. I'm thankful that I went back to Dr. Vives. The difference is night and day

Excellent Doctor
Dr Truesdell took his time in explaining and answering all of my questions and concerns. He listens and cares about what you think and shows his confidence and certainty in letting you know why he is using certain medications and protocols. He is respectful, reasonable and open minded and willing to adjust medications if bloodwork results indicate the need to do so. I trust him and feel my cardiac health is in good hands!
