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.

He’s Wonderful
My husband had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. He was in an emergency situation. Dr. Eastman immediately took him into surgery and fixed the problem. He basically saved my husband’s life. I have not seen a doctor like this in a long time! He stayed with my husband all afternoon after the surgery while he was in ICU and monitored him to make sure he was okay. Such a kind kind man and has a great personality! I would recommend him to anyone who is in this situation! Thank you again Dr. Eastman!

Dr. Eastman did my recent open heart surgery. He and his staff were outstanding. He was informative, courteous and made me feel at ease. I feel extremely fortunate to have had him as my surgeon.
