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.

I've been seeing various Cardiologists since 1983 and I transferred to Dr Riyaz Sumar in the summer of 2020. Dr Sumar is extremely knowledgeable and eager to assist me in my needs. He doesn't talk down to his patients, takes time to listen and explains things about medications and treatment better than any other Cardiologist I've ever seen and I've seen dozens of them throughout my military career and since I retired in 1994. He is truly amazing!

He may be the best cardiologist in the world, but if you have to wait AN HOUR AND A HALF past your appointment time to see him, it tells about his consideration towards patients.

Dr Sumar was recommended to us by MODERN VASCULAR, ALSO EXCELLENT. Dr Swarup, who handles heartbeat issues, works with him out of his office in Avondale. I have huge confidence in both of them. They are monitoring my husband closely. Dr Sumars practitioner is excellent (2019). She gives extensive information in a thorough and cheerful way. Thank you-feel we are in good hands!

Dr. Sumar has done all my Cath procedures. He caring and reassuring during the whole procedure. he'll say relax and touch your arm. His Cath people are kind gentle and they all work in such harmony. I change insurance coverage to stay with him. I'm gratefull I have found doctors who take time and listen. sometimes you wait longer then you would like. It not because he doesn't care your waiting, because he is focused on the patient he's with.

Dr. Sumar specializes in interventional cardiology. He rates more than 98% ahead of his peers. On 2/19/2018 he successfully placed two stents into my left main obtuse marginal coronary. I'd like to sincerely thank him and the entire professional staff at St Joe's Dignity hospital for their excellent professional and loving care. I went from 99% blockage to 0 blockage. I am feeling much better than I did prior to this procedure.

I don't appreciate waiting in the exam room for over an hour on a couple of appointments. Very unprofessional and lack of concern for how I have been feeling. Hopefull doctor / patient relationship will get better..

Dr. Sumar will work on a patient for hours to get the job done correctly. I had 95 to 100% blocked arteries. Dr. Sumar worked for hours to unplug them and he did the job. He is very caring and concerned about his patients health. If it was not for Dr. Sumar I would have had to have by pass. I may still have to but Dr. Sumar keeps a very close watch on them and will decide on the best treatment. Thank you Dr. Sumar you are the best.. Should have more doctors like you. Forever grateful
