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 surprised with a bicuspid aortic valve diagnosis. Never knew I was born with this defect. My fam practice dr said my heart sounded funny. Within days I was sent to Dr Atkins for open heart surgery and was scared out of my wits. This man is outstanding. My scar is only about 3" long and a fine white line. I did exactly what I was told for recovery and feel great. If you have been diagnosed with a bicuspid aortic valve with severe stinosis, it does NOT mean you need to have a 12" ugly scar
