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 Carragher has been my godsend. From the very onset of a potentially fatal heart attack I have felt extremely safe and confident in his care. Dr Carragher has placed two stents in my heart and I have now a newly discovered issue of heart regurgitation. I am nervous. However, I will ultimately rest assured I will be getting the proper prognosis and treatment!

I would like to full heartedly thank Dr. Carragher, Dr. Dibos, and the entire staff at the Heart Care Center of Bayfront Health Port Charlotte as they saved my life. What I thought was minor chest pain and that I might possibly need stents turned out to be a Nuclear Stress Test, followed by a Cardiac Cath and then an immediate Quadruple bypass and Coronary Endarterectomy. Dr. Carragher found I had 99%, 99%, 99%, & 70% blockage in 4 of my coronary arteries. Dr. Dibos did the 5 ½ hour surgery on 3/23/2021 and it was a success. I want to thank the Doctors and the entire staff for their expertise, friendliness, and quick service. I am so thankful they were there to give me a second chance to live a healthy life. Dr. Dibos and Dr. Carragher have done a wonderful job training and guiding the Cardiac nursing staff to be part of a top-notch professional unit. I highly recommend the Heart Center at Bayfront Health and Charlotte Heart and Vascular Institute if you have any heart problems.

Rushed to emergency not knowing I was having a heart attack. Dr.Carragher was called to the ER and immediately requested angioplasty surgery. My heart was (is) in extremely serious condition. Dr.Carragher saved my life along with the great staff at Fawcett Memorial Hospital. His immediate action gave me my life back again. I have a long followup time Dr. Carragerher will over see all my treatment.
