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'm a long-term heart patient & have relocated a number of times. I've visited providers at prestigious academic centers in a few major cities. I've visited private practitioners in markets both large and small. Dr. Fintel is the single best Cardiologist I've had over 30 years of care. As knowledgeable as I've met, he's also thorough, patient and careful in his explanations. All of his referrals have been spectacular. I'm certain Dr. Fintel has added many quality years to my life. He did the same for my cousin. I returned to Chicago in deep distress during 2019. I was told there's no longer 'anything that can be done' for me by a Cardiologist in Arizona. I visited Dr. Fintel and was referred to Drs. Ogwuosa & Sweis. Six months & a transcatheter procedure later, I'm walking 10k steps each day and sleeping like a baby! Thank you, Dr. Fintel! Again.

While he may be good at his job the doctor asked what my occupation was and I told him that I am a real estate appraiser. He then turned to his colleague and said: do you see this man here? He is scum, all appraisers are scum. An appraiser came to my 2.5 million dollar home and appraised it for less causing me to have it revaluated. Do not trust people like him! At the time I thought it was a joke but he wasn't laughing. Where do I begin? Very unprofessional, unreasonable and upsetting.

Dr. Fintel took time with me and explained all possibilities and things he wanted todo to try and get me feeling my best. I never felt rushed or hurried in any way. His associate was awesome as well, Dr. Pete Flevaris. Both teamed up to get me feeling the best that I could after my Open Heart Surgery. I will continue to go to these doctors. Highly Recommended.
