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.

I have complete trust in Dr Avendano. He’s been my doctor for 20 years. He’s the best ??

He is wonderful!!
We (James and Donna Blackman) have been using Dr. Avendano for over 30 years we cannot say enough about him - he is kind, considerate, loves the Lord, compassionate - just a wonderful person and Dr. - he has helped my husband so much - he really cares about you as a person and patient. He listens well - he's funny, upbeat and just an all around loving and caring Dr. I do not see how some of the reviews are saying negative things about him he is awesome and would NEVER treat anyone badly - Love love love him! If you need a good cardiologist he is the best!!!

Fake concerns
Dr Avendaño is a smart guy but he’s biased and partial… often times he’s is not objective and he is also very sarcastic making him show lack of genuine concerns and empathy.

All a facade
I worked with Dr Avendaño, he is friendly and funny in the surface but he lacks compassion and true empathy. He professes deep religious values but doesn’t reflect them in practice. He is often sarcastic and unfair.

I have been a patient of Dr. Avendano for over 10 years. He is a wonderful doctor with the best bed time manners of any doctor I've seen in a long time. He was also my Mom's doctor and is my husband's doctor. We all have great respect for him.

Dr.Avendano one of the few physicians I feel warrants five stars. Not only is he a skilled cardiologist he is also compassionate and listens. Never rushed and he gives you his full attention with a smile. He was instrumental in saving my 96 year old mother when others failed her. He has been my cardiologist since moving back to Texas and can unequivocally recommend him and I have to many friends.

I have never met a Doctor so caring about his patient as he does. His always has a smile on his face, he can't always feel that good but he keeps smiling . There is no Doctor , that I know of with his conviction. I think he should hold classes for other Doctors , of coarse I know with all the patients he has he doesn't have time. Have a BLESSED DAY !

My mother had a heart attack in the middle of the night, we called 911 and arrived at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands, at 2:45am we were met by Dr. Avendano.I knew him and we immediately recognized each other and he assured me he would take great care of my Mom. My mother's physicians are in the Texas Medical Center, and initially we wanted to be transferred right away.His calmness and his compassion immediately made me know we were in great hands, we are now seeing him instead of going to TMC.
