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.

Excellent Cardiologist
This was my first visit to Dr. Chizner and as a CEO in the medical device industry, I was quite impressed with his technical expertise and excellent communication skills. I was previously seeing another cardiologist in the area and Dr. Chizner's insightful and helpful input and explanations of my condition assures me that I made the right decision to change to his practice. I would encourage anyone in the area that needs a cardiologist to consult with Dr. Chizner.

Best Bed Side Manner in South Florida!
I have waited 30 years to finally have a specialist take the time to read through my health history and diagnose me properly. Dr. Chizner and his staff's bed side manner were amazing and set me at ease. I come from a medical family and everyone had recommended I go see this doctor to see if he could get me on the road to recovery. I finally feel that their is a doctor that not only TRULY cares about my health, but takes the time to really listen to my concerns, has the knowledge to recommend the most beneficial next steps as if I were his own daughter! I cannot be happier to have found Dr. Chizner and have already started referring him to my friends and family. It is a shame that a patient must advocate for their health over and over until she has found some of sound practice and superb bed side manner but a blessing that physicians like Dr. Chizner and staff still exist!!

Dr. Michael Chizner is one of those rare physicians, a legendary cardiologist, with whom I have trusted my heart health for decades. There are not sufficient adjectives that would properly convey his extraordinary care his gives every patient, the heart felt compassion he provides, the excellence of his diagnosis, and his ability to offer life-saving advice and procedures. His team share the same warm and caring culture throughout your visit. Most important of all is when you are seen by Dr. Chizner, you can rest assure that whatever advice and treatment he offers will lift your spirit, increase your confidence, and know that you are with the best cardiologist in the nation. There are none better or any other with whom I would trust with my life. FIVE (5) STARS

It was my lucky day today for having been seen by Dr. Chizner. He exemplifies what real health care should be. He must be the best in his profession! He is kind, compassionate, caring and respectful. Being a teaching cardiologist, he had about a dozen of his students present during my appointment (with my permission). Both they and I learned so much when he alleviated so many of my worries that I lived with for the last few years. Dr. Chizner is an amazing doctor, a wonderful person, and I am very happy to have found him, thanks to my dentist Dr. Taskonak who referred me to him. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who needs a cardiologist, one can trust. He is the best!

Simply the Best!
I travel from Naples to Fort Lauderdale to see Dr. Chizner every 6 months. His professionalism is above reproach and he maintains the friendliest "bedside" manner of any physician I have seen. I'm 81 and I've seen a lot! His medical assistant, Annie is perfect and together, they are a great team!

A real physician
I have been a patient of Dr Chizner’s for about eight years. Although he has a well-deserved reputation for being an excellent cardiologist, he is also extremely caring and attentive to his patients’ concerns. He listens carefully to patients’ complaints and takes time to be sure they understand his responses. He is a true physician. In addition, his PA and indeed all the members of his staff reflect the same concern that he exemplifies. They respond quickly and pleasantly to phone calls and requests.

I was recovering from heart surgery and feeling very anxious when I first met Dr. Chizner. I had many questions and concerns and was worried I would be rushed through my appointment. However, Dr. Chizner’s calm and gentle approach soon relaxed me. He never interrupted and carefully listened. He gave me encouragement and confidence, explaining the reasons for various symptoms I was experiencing and providing solutions. Dr. Chizner’s expertise, kindness and understanding is not only helping me recover, but is helping my family cope . This man is a true healer, and a wonderful human being - and I love him.

Excellent!!!!!!! I saw Dr. Chizner many years ago while residing in So. Fla. I would have followed him anywhere in So. Fla. After seeing two other cardiologists, Dr. Chizner determined my issue and got me back on track when others weren't able to. To this day, I am so grateful and would love to be able to thank him in person. He is the best cardiologist ever!
