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.

All better
I was dealing with palpitations for years. I had atrial fibrillation. After seeing multiple doctors and being placed on at least 5 drugs with no improvement, I listened to a friend who had sen Dr. Jimenez. He explained that sometimes a procedure is more effective than medications. I had an ablation and I am happy to say that in the 6 months since the surgery, my symptoms have not returned. I am optimistic for the first time in years. I am also off almost all the medication which can only be good thing

I changed my opinion
I always felt like it's 'hurry up and wait' when I went to his office. The wait times can be long at the JFK office. I like Dr. Jimenez a lot, so I finally figured out how to get a better experience….go to his office at JUPITER MEDICAL CENTER! There I found a quieter office, Dr. Jimenez was less rushed and it was a much better experience. I work my schedule around his day up there, and truth be told, I enjoy the drive.

Office staff
Dr Jimenez performed my heart oblaction. Everyever returns a phonebody says he's a great Dr. The problem is his office staff never returns a phone call. I went though the web site like it says still never got a call back. Went to his office to talk to somebody there was 2 other people wait to talk to the office staff.

Awesome doctor!
Dr. Jimenez performed my pacemaker surgery. He is well-regarded for his skill. When I needed an adjustment, he and the technician listened and worked with me to get it just right. He explains everything so that you understand. He has given me my life back.

I've met a few very good doctors in my life and Dr. Jimenez is definitely near the top. I was on medication for years and then a friend recommended him. My heart beat is regular now and I am off medication. I can't believe I wasted so much time with medicine to "control". Very trustworthy and caring.

I've never been to the office, the 1st time I met the Dr was 30 sec. before anesthesia. Scheduling procedure followup is next to impossible. As far as the Dr goes i hope he's good but i wouldnt know since I havnt been seen by anyone since my watchman procedure . I would think twice before using this office.

I am a patient of Dr. Jimenez and found him personably and helpful at the first visit. From that point on it was down hill. His office is not responsive; 23 phone calls before a return call and when he did call indicated he doesn’t usually make these calls himself. He did an implant and that went well; however he never called for our follow up appointment. When we called 45 minutes after expected call, we were told there was a 3 hour window. That call never came. We decided to go to our cardiologist, who is very responsive, to understand what I could and could not do after the surgery. If u are looking for a patient centric practice, this is not the place u will get it.

This man saved my life! He’s absolutely fantastic! He explains everything that needs to be done and follows up, strictly. In it case, I needed a cardiac ablation, twice only because a second condition developed do to my heart issue. Dr Jimenez took care of everything and the OR staff at JFK, amazing too. Many thanks !

Dr. Jimenez did an excellent job explaining my condition and then fixing me up. I had palpitations for years and people would blame it on anxiety. Dr. Jimenez discovered that I had an arrhythmia and he was able to eliminate it. I haven't had a recurrence in 6 months thanks to his help. He was also kind and considerate to my family. My wife and daughter had many questions and they both agreed that he was thorough and not rushed. Thank you again.

Arrogant, dismissive, overconfident. He has no business speaking to patients or their families. Hewould not explain the situation to us or offer alternatives. I would never recommend him to anyone and encourage my Insurance to challenge his charges forfailure to perform his duties.

Dr. Jimenez has seen me for rapid heart rate (SVT). I've had ablations in the past prior to moving to Florida, and he was highly recommended to me by a friend in the medical field. I have found Dr. Jimenez to be knowledgeable and trustworthy. He has always taken his time and explained things in a way that I can understand. I know that I'm in the best care with him and his staff.
