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.

The very best
Dr Hopkins has been my cardiologist for over 10 years. He has superb communication skills as well as vast medical knowledge. He is a doctor that I look forward to visiting because he makes me feel at ease and I know I am in the best of hands.

Dr. Hopkins has been my cardiologist since 2018. When I was diagnosed with a heart murmur he was there for me from day one of my adventure into heart valve replacement. I tell everyone he is the "Best" and that is how I feel about him every time I see him for an appointment.

Dr. Hopkins is my mother's cardiologist. He is absolutely excellent with communication as well as procedures. We are all very happy to have him as her doctor for the past 4-5 years. He explains everything thoroughly spending time to do so. He maintains a sense of humor which, we all feel, is absolutely necessary in every profession. We cannot rate him high enough as a cardiologist as well as person.
