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.

Great Has kept me alive for 20 years .would recommend to anyone. Dose his job like the pro he is.

My only experience with Barry was in the hospital where he was too busy to explain or spend any time with patient or family. Rude and condescending, Would never refer this man to anyone who needed cardiac health care.

I have been a patient of Dr. Sharaf for more than two years. And during this two years I found that Dr Sharaf was right on target with the best medications and therapy for a longer and better life for me. I would recommend him to all my friends and family.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Sharaf?
I was very disappointed that I did not receive detailed answers to my questions. Being my first visit I did not expect the Doctor to tell me that he had many other patients to see and he didn't have time to explain certain things to me. He told me if I didn't like the way he does things, that I am free to find another Cardiologist. I have never encountered such arrogance from someone who calls themselves a medical professional...
