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 have lived all over the world and in the states... He is by far the most thorough cardiologist I have met. He thinks and studies about you and your condition(s). Then he talks to you about them without making you feel for lack of a better word - stupid. Sarah is awesome there too! I love this team! I am moving back to Washington state and its going to be hard to replace this team. I will miss them much!
