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.

Very pleased with Dr. Loka, answered all our questions thoroughly and was very pleasant! Staff was lovely and welcoming!

Wonderful experience
My son was referred to Dr.Loka this year after an ER trip because of abnormal heart rhythms. Dr.Loka was kind and very thorough in explaining my son’s heart issue to us. He also gave us time to ask questions and didn’t rush us at all.

I had a cardiac ablation about 10 months ago. I went once for post-op check for A-fib and even though Dr. Loka was in adjoining office, he never bothered to stick his head in and ask how I was doing. I am still very out of breath getting dressed, walking across the room, etc. That entire office has washed their hands of me and no one has scheduled me for another visit. NEVER go to Dr. Loka or any of the drs. in that office affiliated with the hospital.

Great Doctor
I just completed an appointment with Dr. Loka. What a great Doctor. He was on time, spent a great deal of time answering my questions. He even walked back in after the appointment was over when I told his staff I just thought of another question. Everyone on the staff was kind, courteous, and professional. He was very knowledgeable and kind himself. I highly recommend him to anyone.

This doctor was asked to step in when mine was unavailable. He never spoke to me directly or advised me and he incorrectly interpreted an ECG. This department has had a lot of excellent physicians leave at the same time (likely to cut costs) and in doing so they have put patients at risk. Phone calls are not answered, the doctors have no knowledge or experience with your case, and scheduled tests and followup procedures are delayed by months. The decline of this dept. is disgraceful.

Saw the doc after my Dr moved. Couldn’t assess my chart, wanted to do an ablation without looking at my chart or doing tests. Didn’t say when to come back got recheck. Never scheduled tests he said he was going to schedule. Office doesn’t return calls. Device interrogator doesn’t call back. I will travel to Fl to see my original Dr.

Limited exam. Did not listen to my concerns. Major goal was to put me on a blood thinner. No test done or scheduled.
