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.

This doctor told me that I needed a pacemaker and I got a second opinion. Another cardiologist said that my heart was healthy and I didn’t need a pacemaker or medication. I’m so glad I got another opinion.

I was also misdiagnosed by this physician. He told me I need to think about either taking meds or have a procedure done. To his credit, he was good at explaining the diagnosis and was articulate, but it would have been more meaningful to me had the diagnosis actually been accurate. I saw another doctor and he told me I do not have this condition that he diagnosed me with at all! office staff was also unprofessional and hostile when I asked questions. Did not have a very positive experience here.

He said I have heart disease and recommended a stent. I asked if I would have to take blood thinners. He said yes. I asked if I had to have it. He said because I had a a blockage of less than 70% we could try to control it with medication. I opted for the medication. I was taking 20 MG of a cholesterol drug, I had further testing with another cardiologist, who said that there is nothing wrong with my heart. So much more, and so little room to write it here.
