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.

Dr Mellitt performed a triple bypass on my husband 3 years ago and I can’t say enough about what the skills of him and his team have done to ensure that our family continues to thrive into the future. After 3 years my husband is continuing to improve. My husband lost his father in his early teens and now his young teenage son doesn’t have to feel that same pain. Thank you Dr Mellitt for the great risk you take every day to not only repair hearts, but to repair families. The Bond Family
