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 visited Dr. Iyer today. I feel she is not professional and doesn’t listen to patients complaining. She has a very nasty attitude. I don’t know where she completed her medical school, but I believe her training is unfortunately limited. My advice to her is to first listen to the patient and try to understand before starting treatment or making decisions. Don’t hate the patient. I will never visit her again, and I will tell my friends and family not to waste their time visiting Dr. Iyer. Shame on her. I hope she can change her attitude after seeing this review

She was very direct which could come off bad to some people. But I appreciated her approach and how thorough she was! I would rather have this experience than an experience with a provider that was "fake nice" but didn't have my health in mind as the number one priority - which kudos to her for having her patients health as the number 1 priority.

Dr Iyer is a very good cardiologist. She listens to what you're saying and she listens to your concerns. She will also work with you when you are not ready to take a certain medication or have concerns about it. I have recommended her to my friends.
