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 found Dr. Baddi to be uncaring and cautious. I had a panic attack (with symptoms of a heart attack) back in April. When I saw him, he told me he'd have to run additional tests and had never heard of this happening before. When in reality, and after months of speaking to other doctors and therapists, this is incredibly common. Had he told me what I experienced was most likely a panic attack, it would've saved me months of doctor visits, therapy, and an on-set of anxiety disorder. But instead, he, like many doctors, cares more about managing risk than comforting patients. As a Cardiologist, I have to imagine he sees these cases quite frequently so I was disappointed in how he treated my symptoms. I also couldn't get an appointment with him for 4 months after my initial telehealth visit. Awful experience with his practice.

I had an appointment with Dr. Baddi that I made months in advance and I show up the day of and I've been informed it's been cancelled with no warning, apology, or notice. His office is extremely unprofessional and I recommend finding a different practice.

Dr. Baddi is thorough, compassionate, positive, and encouraging. He spends as much time as you need talking and proactively considering strategies to keep me on the right track to continued heart health.
