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.

Too Busy to Listen
Seems to busy to listen. I've had a number of cardiologists over the years in different locations. I find most be poor listeners. Hard to find one that listens, discusses and is considerate of your views. I moved on.

I've not had a good experience with Dr. Usher. He is generally dismissive and inattentive. I cannot speak to his qualifications, but if you are looking for a health partner to help you figure things out and talk through issues, try a different doctor.

He's kind, professional, conservative and highly thought of by medical staff in ER, hospital as well as partner and PA s. I have been happy with my care since coming from the east coast area and starting with him and his practice a year ago! He follows protocols and after appropriate testing will discharge from hospital and follow up from office.

Dr. Usher is average. Very forgetful regarding previous appointment details. Lacked follow up after surgery but the office checked in unfortunately out of protocol, unaware of the procedure. He has too many patients and uses that as an excuse for his short comings.

This was a great doctor appointment. I was impressed with the staff. The nurse was waiting for me in the exam room! Dr. Usher was professional, and didn't insist on unnecessary tests. I was there as a precaution from Urgent Care tests. Dr. Usher agreed the tests were not indicative of heart disease and released me. If i ever have heart issues, he will be my first choice of cardiologist!
