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.

Excellent doctor
Dr. Mehta has been my cardiologist since 2014. He helped me get a heart transplant in 2014 and manages my heart condition. He and his team, especially Marc Verlasky, are wonderful and give me great care. I highly recommend him to any of my family or friends who have any heart related issues.

Confident Cardiologist
I am a 88 year old individual who has had Dr. Mehta since Dr.Mahon retired. I’ve been very happy with his medication advisement and putting me on the right course for a successful fulfilled life. I feel better than I have in years. I would recommend him highly to other friends and family! His right hand nurse, Jill Gleason is wonderful too. Amazing attribute to his practice. Again, I’m very confident in Dr.Mehta’s cardiology knowledge and direction.

I am 85 years of age but Dr. Mehta did not "write me off" but judged me by my physical condition rather than age. He has provided me with excellent care and, thanks to him, I am able to do all I did before my heart problem.

Dr. Mehta (along with his rockstar team) is my stepdad's LVAD cardiologist. He and his team saved my dads life. The care provided has been cutting edge and always delivered with a high level of compassion. Highly recommended!
