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.

Can’t Complain
Dr. Bleiweis performed open heart surgery (arterial switch operation) on me to fix my condition of d-TGA almost 24 years ago. This man is my hero; he saved my life. I have had no complications or limitations on my life and I will celebrate my 24th birthday tomorrow. I am grateful to be here and I cannot express my thankfulness for Dr. Bleiweis because he saved me. There truly is no other way to describe him in my mind than as a real-life hero.

Dr Bleiweis saved my Grandson’s life. He was born with Transposition of the Great Arteries. My Grandson had open heart surgery at 1 week old and left the hospital 6 days later doing very well. Thank you Dr Bleiweis

Dr. Bleiweis fixed my son Preston who had obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with a septum that was overgrown by 3 cm. My son survived open heart surgery and doesn't have a heart murmur anymore!
