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.

After going into a fib Dr. Valentino taught me a couple of things about a fib, ( after another cardiologist didn't inform me of these issues), that could take a toll on my heart in the future if it's not treated, just living with your heart quivering). He is very nice and takes his time. The staff is nice too. He came highly recommend to me me by three people I know, and I now recommend him myself. A very comfortable office.

Dr. Val has been an outstanding doctor. Being diagnosed with CHF at 30 years old has been a difficult, and life changing challenge. Dr. Val and his nurses have treated me like family and helped me through this challenging time in my life. I've made steady progress while under the care of Dr. Val.

Dr. Valentino truly cares about his patients. He sometimes runs late, but that is because he really takes his time while in the exam room - answering any questions you may have and fully explaining any conditions or findings.
