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.

What went poorly
Dr Ahocha is my physician for nHeart Failure yet I rarely see him. Im always seen by nursing staff and advanced nurse practitioner. Rarely timely response to phone calls or urgent issues. I guess this practice has grown to fast with not enough staff. Contemplating changing groups.

  • Staff friendliness
What could be improved
  • I didn't feel respected
  • Difficult to schedule appointment

Dr. Agocha is one of the best doctors I've met. He truly cares about his patients, and his staff is amazing. His forward thinking and desire to utilize new medications and treatments make him an excellent choice for anyone with heart failure.
