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.

Dr Telles
Dr Telles is exceptionally thoughtful, pleasant and competent. He has been my doctor since 2008 at which time he performed an emergency angioplasty. He has monitored me over the years since then. My husband is currently in his care after having an ablation procedure a couple of years ago. and he, too, is doing well. I can’t thsnk Dr Telles enough for his excellent care.
