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.

Highly recommend!
Dr. Cove saw me for the first visit today, and I really felt comfortable with the care that I got. He had a good grasp of my chart and the testing that I’ve had, and really took the time to answer my questions and explain my situation. He was very kind and personable, and I feel confident that I’m in good hands.

Dr Cove did not appropriately set my expectations for the procedure he performed on me. He continues to refuse to respond to me in an appropriate manner. I would NOT recommend him for cardiology procedures. His ego is too large to listen to patients & answer their questions.

  • Didn't listen or answer questions
  • Appointment was rushed
  • Didn't trust the provider's decisions

A most considerate specialist. He takes the time needed and uses language that helps calm you down. Very happy with his bedside manner and recommendations. After my angiogram, no serious after effects. Excellent staff follow through. 5 STARS!
