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.

Dr. Kikta is one of the finest that the field has to offer. Without the guidance and proper direction from Dr. Kikta, my father probably would have refused bypass surgery (Which he needed) and probably would have been dead by now. My father does not trust many men, but he trusts Dr. Kikta with his life, as I do as well. This is just a testament to Dr. Kikta's character. In addition to this, Mr. Kikta works with me on an ongoing basis on my preventative cardiology, due to my poor family history, I need this guidance. Every other cardiologist I attempted to form a relationship with laughed at me due to my age and concern. Donald however took it very seriously. I am confident that if I continue to follow the plan that we have constructed together, I will be able to beat my bad genetics. Mr. Kikta is an elite cardiologist that provides world class care, working with him has been a privilege.

Dr. Kikta is the best. He is well educated, and personable, and always spends as much time as I need to answer any questions. He is the best cardiologist I have found. Lucky to have found this doctor, he is outstanding!

To be as brief as possible, dr. Kitka did two procedures on my right and left legs. He did atherectomy and stents. After the last procedure he said that he needed to go back into my leg again because I might have a pseudo aneurysm.i told him no way . He had done 2 procedures in 3 months, and now he wants to see if I have aneurysm caused by last procedure. He finally agreed to a cat scan instead. Afterward he still said the gold standard was to go back into my leg. I said no. I then went to 3 vascular dr. For opinions. Two of them told me that i did not need even half the work dr. Kikta did,snd that he made plenty of money doing these non necessary procedures. One said “ I’m sorry you got pulled into that club”. If you need any vascular work on your legs, please go to a vascular surgeon. I’m sorry I didn’t.i learned the hard way. My claudication is worse now than before the procedures. He told me I should trust him. He lied. Please do not use this dr.

Dr Kikta is a brilliant and talented and caring young cardiologist. We changed my husband's cardiologist and made the right choice. Dr Kikta saved his life.
