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.

He is so kind, calm, patient, understanding. I have so much confidence in him, and his staff, I recommend him to all I talk to about health. I have been his patient for many years.

Increbile Cardiologist
We had the fortunate experience of receiving care from Dr. Ankit Shah, an exceptional cardiologist. After encountering confusing responses from other cardiologists, we were relieved to find Dr. Shah, who not only offered much-needed answers but also exhibited an extremely pleasant and patient demeanor. Would highly recommend Dr. Shah.

No, I would not recommend him. He wouldn't listen and be hesitant to do additional tests which eventually revealed I was step away from another heart attack.
