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.

Very knowledgeable,caring, informative,saved life
I went to see Dr Aguilar with chest pains and shortness of breath and right away he did several tests immediately and informed me that I needed to check into the hospital to have a catheterization done. I wound up needing a quintuple bypass which was very successful. I highly recommend this doctor as his whole team is very capable experienced and excellent at their jobs. If he did not diagnose correctly I would not be here today. Thank you Dr Aguilar

Life Saver.......
If it wasn't for Dr. Aguilar I wouldn't be here. I had to have emergency open heart surgery in March. He discovered many issues that were previously disregarded by other doctors. It has been a tough healing process but I am grateful for Dr. Aguilars care and attention

In 2020 I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart failure. I was at the brink of death. Dr Nelson Aguilar saved my life. Over the next two years, due to his care I am proved tremendously. My lifestyle now is active physical activity and thanks to him I have a few future. The staff at the office have always been fantastic to me and for that I am grateful as well. I owe Dr. Aguilar and staff. My life and words cannot describe how happy I am with him as my doctor.

The Dr maybe but the staff and The office personnel are unprofessional and they are racist here. I went for treatment and the receptionist was uniformed and dismissive. They treated me like I was poor.

Mom went to him with slurred/garbled speech. He told her it happens when you get old. Brought her up to Boston where they did all kind of tests to discover she had a stroke and urinary tract infection. Afib also detected and she was not on any blood thinner even with a history of blood clot. Not good for a cardiologist.

Kind, caring, knowledgeable. Straightened out my BP medication in one visit. Not an alarmist. He takes the time to talk to you, and answers all questions. He’s well worth my trip across Broward County!

Dr. Aguilar, takes his time, listens to a patients concerns and talks to you about them. Also, he follows up on the phone (which doesn't happen very often these days). Great doctor!

I find Dr aguilar competent and pleasant as a person. My problem has to do with the staff, especially receptionists and people who take phone calls and messages......Seldom if ever I receive call backs on messages or requests...Also when personnel pauses foe lunch, the phone is turned off and callers can't even leave messages....very frustrating...
