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.

The office staff and nurse were very pleasant. Dr Costello listened to my concerns and thoroughly discussed all my treatment options.

I thought his front desk was fine. My issue was patient care. I was readmitted to the hospital due to complications from open heart surgery I had 7 weeks prior at the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Costello office was informed but no one came to check on my condition. Was there 24hr. To this date no one has ever called or inquired about my health. St Luke's did not call in a cardiologist to see me in the hospital. I called on a different Dr. was diagnosed correctly in 40 min. I will never go back.

It was very difficult to schedule an appointment and get heard The staff was utterly rude and disrepectful The front desk and assistant are a joke Coming from a big city clinic to Boise cardiology is like going back 40 years in time in terms of quality of service and care for patients.

About Me

care philosophy

I want to help people make the best decisions about their health through support and education. I view my role in helping patients as being there to support their decisions rather than dictating their options. Ultimately, people succeed when they find a way to make a choice that is best for them.??
