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.

3 Surgeries Later
I had to have 3 open heart surgeries, when it should have been 1. He nicked an artery on the first one. Then he sliced open the heart on the second one. He did not want to put a pace maker in with AFIB. I eventually went to another doctor and they had me get a pace maker.

Closed Chest Maze Procedure
Dr. Longoria and his team performed a closed chest maze procedure on me in June of 2021 in Pleasanton. I was reluctant to have surgery, but my atrial fibrillation was so persistent that there was really no other option. I was treated with great care and kindness by the whole team and made a steady recovery from the relatively minor incisions involved. The results have been superb. The A-fib, with its alarming symptoms and health risks, has not recurred at all in over two years. Many thanks to Dr. Longoria and his team.

Dr Longoria did a bilateral thoroscopic maze procedure on me to control a-fib. The results are not final, the situation keeps improving. Not perfect but way better. Dr Longoria is efficient and very knowledgeable, he has a great manner and makes the patient feel very important. The staff at his office is exceptional as well.

Not a very good football player but a great heart surgeon. He rebuilt my Aorta, performed Ablation for my AFIB and ran a third lead to a pacemaker that he installed. My scar is really small for open heart procedure and after a year it's not that noticeable. I had no complications post surgery and would recommend him to my family and friends.
