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 was always treated with a smile and a kind word. To me that is exceptionally important because I’m getting up in age and find I’m more nervous now. Dr Peter and his entire staff always made me feel at ease. I highly recommend Dr Peter.

Amazing. Saved my life
I was referred to Dr Peter by my primary Dr. We went from hey I might have some plaque issues to you need a triple bypass over a week long period. Easy to work with , knows his stuff , didn’t panic or frighten me but was honest from each step we took to what needed to happen After surgery laid out a plan for recovery and life long heart health. You won’t be unhappy with this incredible physician

Denied care due to Seniors type of insurance
Family member was seen in the ER for a heart attach and underwent surgery. Admitting Dr and group was taking care of her and Dr Peter walked in and stated he was now her cardiologist. Family requested the initial Dr several times to no avail. Follow up appt was made for 48 hours after discharge. 435pm the night before the discharge appt, his office called and cancelled because they don’t take that insurance. Asked for a referral or what to do, the instructions were to call her primary Dr and hung up. No apology or direction. Called the office back and they send their phones to the answering service at 430. Not sure how a Dr. can squeeze in to grab a patient, then deny them follow up care. It’s disgusting how healthcare and patients are treated due to what kind of insurance you have. Seniors on Medicare should be treated, not denied because an office manager/ physician doesn’t get paid as much. Obvious politics in hospital and lack of caring for patients needs is sickening & shameful

Disappointing end
I have been a patient for 5 years. I have a Bi-V pacemaker with defibrillator for chronic systolic heart failure and am seen here for that condition. When I was called for my appointment reminder I was informed Dr Peter no longer accepted my insurance. 2 days before my appointment!! It will takes weeks if not months to get in with anotherl provider. I hope the next cardiologist I choose has more concern for their patients. What a disappointing end to my relationship with Dr Peter.

Wonderful Cardiologist
Dr. Peter listened to my concerns and answered my questions. His explanation of my health issues and the later heart surgery saved my life. He is a kind man. His staff was very caring as well which was important to me as I believe it shows compassion and can change the world. I chose him and would do so again.

great caring doctor!
on time - staff are friendly, helpful and considerate - Dr Peter is the best! He listens, takes his time and explains things clearly. Explains exactly what he needs you to do and what the plan is for the next visit and longer term. I credit him with bringing me back to health. He also cared for a family member and gave him extra years of life with great management when his other doctors were not able to. He is very upbeat and you know he sincerely cares about you. Would never go to anyone else. I trust him completely.

Outstanding Physician
Dr. Peter is a wonderful physician and heart specialist. I find his office staff friendly and courteous and could not ask for a better physician to care for me. He does a thorough exam and follow through with every visit. Best of all he listens!! He asks questions!! He is thorough and I trust him fully with my life and my wife's life. You are in excellent hands when your care provider is Dr. Peter. He also cares about how much medications cost and understands fully the cost of prescriptions. I highly recommend him to anyone who may have a heart issue, vein issues or just needs an excellent cardiologist!

Always looking out for his patients best health. Spends plenty of time with the patients during visits. Answers all the patient's questions and explains in terms that are understandable. I highly recommend Dr. Peter for any new patients looking for a "top notch" cardioloist in the Vero Beach Florida area.

Outstanding Cardiologist – Jun 05, 2022

Saved my Life!
While being prepped for an endoscopy, my blood pressure went very high. The gastroenterologist stopped everything and ordered me to see a cardiologist. Since Dr. Peter is my wife's cardiologist, he was able to get me in quickly. He ordered a battery of tests ,then called me to come in sooner than planned to hear results. It showed a blockage, so he planned a catheterization right away, after which we were informed that I actually needed open heart surgery! My situation was so dire that he kept me in the hospital until the surgery was performed, four days later. It was a triple bypass! I'm quite sure that Dr. Peter saved my life that day!
