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.

Socrates would be very proud!!!!!

Dr. Samitas is the best doctor I have ever had. She is attentive, caring, follows-up, etc. I have nothing negative to say about her, she is what all doctors should be, genuinely involved with her patients care.

Actually, I really do not want to recommend this doctor to anyone else because she is wonderful and I want her to be free to see me if I need her. She actually listens to her patients and gives them the time they need. And, you aren't just a patient, she remembers you from visit to visit. Best ever~

After years of being treated by a renown cardiologist, I moved all my health records to Dr. Samitas' where my wife had been a satisfied patient for some time. During a sit down discussion of my medical records with me she discovered that I had what appeared to be a blocked heart. She referred me to another cardiologist who suggested a dye test which validated her blockage suspicion. A CABG was performed with-in a week of discovery, I owe her my life.
