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.

Topnotch, Knowledgeable and So Very Cool !
I am proud to say that Dr. Costa is my cardiologist! Every time I see this astounding physician I cannot fathom how relaxed he gets me to feel. (I am a naturally anxious person.) I can talk to him about anything. And I actually wonder how he keeps such a totally relaxed demeanor while simultaneously knowing exactly how to fix my heart that had been charting very high, Afib, uneven, (tachycardia) on the EKG. Then, less than one year later here I am back to normal sinus rhythm because Dr. Costa knew how to fix me up good as new! He recommended colleagues, gave me tips on what to eat and drink, what exercises I could and should not do so my heart would keep even pace with the rest of me. If I could give Dr. Costa many more stars, I would. He will always stand out to me as outstanding!

Refused to see me as a first time patient despite me being on time for the appointment but due to going to a different building, covid prescreening, and an unfortunate wait at the reception area caused by individuals having trouble with their health insurance at the receptionists desk made me about 14 minutes late for the appointment. Clearly he does not care for his patients as well as it seems or maybe he picks and chooses, its quite sad and i really needed help and guidance with my medical issues such a waste of time choose another cardiologist.

Absolutely love Dr. Costa. He is my cardiologist, and I chose him to be my mom's cardiologist when her doctor retired. My mom is 93 and she tells him her whole story and her daily problems and routines. He patiently listens and calms her anxiety and fears. He adjusts her meds as needed and is concerned with her quality of life. She is doing very well under his care. He also accurately diagnosed me and has greatly helped me managed my care and feel much better!!

Wonderful bedside manner! Obviously very intelligent and current on the developments in his field, but explains everything in an understandable way. Is very reassuring. Now that I've met him, I wouldn't go anywhere else!
