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.

Made the appointment to see the cardiologist. I verified the address I had on file and they said it was correct. Today was the appointment when I got there the office was not open yet. There are at a different location. When they asked for my information so I can go to the other office they said we have nothing on file that you haven't made the appointment. My point is this you don't want Waste your time make an appointment to see the doctor when the office is that incompetent. In the meantime I have to make a new appointment to find another cardiologist well God knows how long that's going to take and I have heart issues.

Dr. Smith is not only an amazing cardiologist but he is also a very compassionate man who never rushes you, makes sure all of your questions are answered and always acts in your best behalf. 1 1/2 yrs ago I had bilateral pulmonary embolisms and while in the hospital this wonderful man actually came to see me. What doctor does that anymore. I can't recommend him highly enough
