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.

Dr. Heric performed an aortic valve replacement and ascending aorta aneurism repair. I was out of the hospital 4 days later. 4 months later and I'm doing well. Strongly recommend him.

Dr. Heric saved my life! He performed a double bypass on May 21st resulting from a heart attack on the Pinellas Trail while riding my bicycle. Yesterday, on the 4 month anniversary I rode my bicycle 102 miles. Being a bicyclist himself he assured I’d be back to the things I love.

I'm over 9 years into my aortic valve replacement and my cardiologist says the function of my valve has actually improved. Thanks Dr. Heric.

Dr. Heric performed quadruple bypass surgery on me. From the first appointment to the to the final followup appointment, everything went smoothly. Surgery was a breeze. I've never thought a heart surgery could be this easy. His stuff is also very helpful and courteous.
