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.

One of the Worst
He is one of the worst doctors you could ever be unfortunate to be referred to. Like other people have sad. He is very rude and condescending. I don't understand why he chose a profession where he has to deal with the public and their care. Please if your doctor referees you to this man ask for someone else.

HORRIBLE DOCTOR
My mother had a heart cath, he told her she needed open heart surgery but REFUSED to answer any question we had and would tell us to read the paperwork, then proceeded to use profanity by telling my mom "This shi* wont get any better" then before leaving he stated " Let's hope something doesn't break off and something bad happen. WE are left with no answers not even knowing what next steps are. This man is horrible has no compassion for his patients, luckily our nurse witnessed the whole conversation and assisted us with filing a complain not only with the hospital but I also have filed a complaint with the Texas Medical Board. This man does not need to be practicing medicine Definitely getting a second opinion.

My husband and I took my mother-in-law in to see Dr. Posligua for a follow up appointment due to her being admitted into the hospital a month ago. She's 61 years old and in a wheelchair due to her illnesses. My husband waited in the lobby. Dr. Posligua came into the room, with no mask on, pulled up a chair, and sat outside the doorway stating he can't come in due to Covid. He spoke extremely loud in a condescending fashion telling my mother-in-law "this is a dictatorship!" When she answered his questions about her health he would respond like he was her daddy and she was 3 years old. He even made a statement to his nurse, while we were sitting there, "she wants everything for free but nothing in this world is free", then walked off. There's so much more wrong I can say about this visit but I'll reserve my entire complaint for the office manager. All I can say is thank God I was the one who elected to sit in with my mother-in-law during that visit and not my husband.

If you could choose zero stars that’s what I would have given him. Worse bedside manner I have ever encountered and I am in the healthcare industry. My mother was brought to the ER with chest pain and subsequently had a stent placed. Dr Posligua made my father feel that he had no choice but to sign a DNR. She was discharged two days later without ever seeing the doctor again and with no further explanation about the heart attack she suffered. Felt as though he didn’t want to be bothered by her. She was brought back to the ER one day after with chest pain again and he was called. He didn’t bother to show in the ER but rather had another doctor come in and tell us that there was nothing he could do. I asked to speak to him and he called. Over speaker phone he spoke to me as well as others like we were stupid and kept referring to my mother as “That Lady”. He made it sound like she was going to die if not that night within the week. Second opinions are worth the time.

Dr. Posligua is overdramatic and does NOT like patients who ask questions about the treatments he recommends. My mother asks a lot of questions concerning side effects of meds, and her particular bodily reaction to them. Posligua considers that to be “pushing back” and a refusal to be the “good patient”. This last visit he got mad at her, and shut the visit down with his comment of “I have other patients.” He then walked out of the room, ignoring her completely! Do NOT go to him if you want an open discussion of your situation!

I luv Dr. Pasligua! He is so smart and observent. He took such care w me asking so many pertinent questions that only good doctors do. He and his staff r extremely efficient and found out what was wrong w me right away, including a diagnosis that Dr. Paligua made that was totally out of his field. I was misdiagnosed for 10+ yrs!!! Thank u, Dr. P!

Dr. Postigua is a competent, young cardiologist who is forthright and knowledgeable. His staff people are likewise competent and people-friendly. They all do their work in a professional manner (while remembering that patients are people). Like!
