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.

Caring, Knowledgeable Doctor
I’m a relatively new patient of Dr. Helm, as I have only known him for a little over two years. What a guy he is! In addition to his amazing knowledge and skills he fulfills the very important quality of being a caring doctor. In seeing him, he determined that my aortic valve needed replacement. My response was let’s wait a year or so. He matter of fact stated, You probably won’t last that long. I took heed and scheduled a TAVR with his team including Drs. Lance LaMotte and Mark Pollet that was very successful. I am still here. Thank you Dr. Helm!
