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 Dipisa is very caring and compassionate. He takes time to answer any questions and try to put your mind at ease.

Had my first appointment with Dr DePisa on Dec 29, 2023, very brief visit, he listened to my heart, my carotid artery, took my blood pressure and said 'I'll see you in 6 months.' When I went into my patient portal and read the notes from Dr DePisa I was stunned. Notes stated I had been counselled on my diet and was encouraged to reduce calorie intake by 500 calories per day because I was obese. I am 5'7' tall and I weigh 128lbs, how in the world can that be considered obese?? Plus he never spoke to me about my weight or diet. The notes further stated I was counseled on a smoking cessation program, this didn't happen either, plus I do not even smoke. There were several irregularities like this on my chart, all of which I had never been 'counseled on' as was indicated on my notes. I was pretty confused, did he even know if he was charting on the correct patient? I will not be going back to this office.

Dr. Dipisa is awesome! He does not keep you waiting and spends time explaining everything in great detail. Dr. D is very professional, but makes me you feel very comfortable and relaxed. He was referred to me from a friend who has been a patient for a long time. His office staff are great too! I had quite a few conversations with Toby, who went out of her way to help me with my insurance. Bottom line..great doctor and staff!! Very rare to find!

Both myself and my husband have been patients of Dr. Dipisa for 20 plus years. As a RN I have worked with Dr.Dipisa many times and especially in critical situations you couldn't ask for a better Doctor to work with. Always calm and in control, compassionate and caring for patient and staff. Extremely knowledgeable and always helpful. He listens to what staff and patients have to say. He has taken extremely excellent care of myself and my husband.

Dr. DiPisa is a member of the old guard so to speak, while his knowledge of heart disease is based on science and clinical experience it is far from being based on the Latest science, lifestyle recommendations to prevent or stop the progression of atherosclerosis is never made...I also did not ask, because I already knew, I just needed to practice it, which was avoiding ALL animal products and ALL oils... get total cholesterol below 150, any higher and you wont see results.... and thats it.
