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.

He's very patient and talks to you when you have questions and made sure my husband got his stress test quickly before his surgery was scheduled. He's doesn't have you coming back for unnecessary visits, if your clear of any issues he doesn't need to see you unless you have a problem.

He misdiagnosed my mother after preforming 9 cardiac catherizations. Told her she wasn't ill, it was all in her head. In reality. Her carotid artery was 90% blocked.
