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.

Dr Chesnie took his time and did not rush me through my list of questions . Office staff was amazing!! I highly recommend Dr Chesnie if you want to experience what a true old school kind doctors office feels like! Very professional !!

Berated Me
This is the worst doctor experience I have ever had. The most rude, lecturing, non caring, egomania I have ever encountered. If you want your heart to race by being insulted by someone with a God complex, this is your guy.

Just do NOT go unless you want to feel unwelcome, be treated rude, told you are being a burden trying to work you into the schedule when HIS office made the appointment! Dr Chesnie was the rudest and berating doctor I have ever been to.

Dr. Chesnie sent my Mom into heart failure by over-ablating her heart. He's a horrible cardiologist and doesn't care about his patients at all. Stay away.

He insisted that I take a nuclear stress test without telling me that there is a non-nuclear stress test with no radiation. I told him I did not wish to get a stent, and he rudely said, "Well, why did you even come into the office?" He's rude and does unecessary tests, like DNA testing which he suggested and which I did not even need!!!
