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.

On January 24, 2023, Dr. Dejene performed quadruple bypass heart surgery. He said I should be home in 4 days and I was. Everything went smoothly, everyone was top notch and everyone was very professional and nice.

Can’t say enough good things about him. He saved my life when my heart was punctured and I needed emergency open heart surgery. His bedside manner is pretty matter-of-fact, he tries to be as honest and straightforward as possible.

Dr. Dejene performed my fathers quad bypass just after christmas 2015. My father asked me to leave this review for him and thank Dr. Dejene for saving his life. Though complications were ran into during the surgery, causing it to last hours longer than it should have, Dr. Dejene was able to correct those complications and prevent further issues and save one of my fathers nearly fully calcified arteries. He was very compassionate yet serious about his work, and he is a completely reputable dr.

10 years ago, this man saved my life. I was 23 years old and was in a head on car accident. My aorta tore, & I needed an aortic dissection. Only 5% of these cases make it to the hospital alive. Less make it through surgery. He went through my back so I didn't end up with a scar on my chest. Even after all these years, he has called me back to assure me I wouldn't have complications during childbirth - I have you to thank for making it possible for me to have my two baby girls. May God bless you.
