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.

Extremely knowledgeable. Very down to earth and patient. Good communication skills.

I saw Dr. Civello for the first time today I was extremely satisfied with the way he sat there with me and explained everything to me about my test..He made me feel better about my heart problems..I asked to have him as my permanent cardiologist. Would recommend him to anyone that needs a cardiologist.

He correctly diagnosed me with POTS Syndrome when for over 6 months I went to probably 20++ doctors to seek help, & many tried to help but couldn’t & some of them were very rude & insinuated that I was “faking my illness “. Dr Civello really (& patiently) listened to my explanation of symptoms and easily concluded I had POTS Syndrome, which in general may take up to 3 Yrs to get properly diagnosed. He was kind & compassionate; extremely smart & yet humble (. It to mention “a looker”- lol!)

Would recommend Dr. Civello to anyone experiencing any cardiac problems. Knowledge, experience, and abilities put me at ease at the first appointment. Had chronic AFib that was extremely resistant to non invasive treatments but was cured by an ablation procedure. I am extremely pleased with the treatment I recieved from him and all of his staff.
