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.

Made me feel safe and comfortable as I went through my operation and after. Yes, he saved my life as he has so many. God Bless.

My husband and I have been patients of Dr Sappington for many years. If it wasn't for Dr Sappington, my husband would have never received his heart transplant at Yale. He is a dedicated and knowledgeable cardiologist and above all, a very kind man. I am proud to say that he is our cardiologist

Dr. Sappington was recommended to me by a trusted friend and I am very grateful for that recommendation. Prior to and immediately following my Angiogram, Dr Sappington took the time to explain the procedure and answer my many questions in an informative and compassionate way. He was able to locate and diagnose my condition quickly and completely. His follow up has been amazing and thanks to him, I'm on my way to complete recovery. i would highly recommend Dr Sappington.

Dr Sappington was the admitting cardiologist when I was admitted to the hospital. A PA saw me to do the admission history & physical. I sawDr. Sappington for less than 10 seconds waiting to have a nuclear stress test. The following day Dr. Sappington was in attendance for the exercise portion and that was the last time I saw him. I was then discharged without any words or instructions from the doctor.
