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 disappointed that a physician with his experience and credentials would be so contradictory with his treatment advice

His behavior was appalling! He was insulting, condescending, accusatory and dismissive. My primary wanted me to move my annual appointment w/him to see him sooner as a result of an echocardiogram report which she found concerning. He completely dismissed all of it, saying it was normal and accused me of silliness and wrote in his report "giddiness". My husband witnessed all of this and was shocked by his behavior. His advice was to "eat more salt." After listening to doctors for decades advising to use less salt, I questioned that and he accused me of "silliness". Is this the kind of attidude we should expect from doctors? I think not. Stay far from him. He doesn't deserve to be practicing medicine!

The most caring DR in Cardiology besides Dr Carver. Dr Callans is more in research but was in CCU caring for my wife after bone marrow transplant. HF ensued. It could have went either way. Dr Callans FIRST RATE!! Very lucky to have him during that time.
