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.

This was the my initial consultation about an aortic valve replacement. He informed me about the procedure and answered all of my questions. I feel very confident about his professionalism, and will be using him in the future.

Very caring and experienced surgeon.
Dr explained Mid Cab procedure recently well to my husband, daughter and me. Helped us to understand and feel comfortable. I had 80 percent blockage and requires grafting of a healthy vessel to help affected artery to heal .

Dr. Kaiser replaced my aorta essentially, as I had an ascending aortic aneurysm. I was very worried about it and questioning; even looked for other doctors, but in the end felt Dr. Kaiser and the Vanderbilt team were the best. I was right and am now at 1 year since my surgery. Great Doctor.

Dr. Kaiser saved my son's life. He is very attentive and kind. He has helped schedule my son's visits for our convenience and always takes time to answer our questions. To this worried mom, he was a GODSEND!

My son was seen by Dr Kaiser after being sent to Vandy Univ.Medical Center via Life Flight. He and Dr Danter explained everything to us that would be done on that night and before surgery was done in the next few days. I am so grateful to them and all off the surgeons Nurses and all the Very Very nice Staff. I have never seen so many nice people in one hospital. I just can't tell it all how much they have shown they really cared for us. Thank You, Thank You A Million Times Over.
