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. Zimetbaum encouraged and made available an intervention that vastly improved my quality of life after a negative experience with a RI practice. He and every associate I have encountered has been attentive, professional and responsive. Fortunately I had switched to him prior to the pandemic; my treatment made that first year of isolation so much easier than it would have been. Grateful.

Dr. Zimetbaum was instantly dismissive and rude to me. I transferred to another Doctor who correctly diagnosed me, and found EKG findings he missed.

I have been a patient of Dr. Zimmetbaum for the past 14 years. He is genuine and extremely knowledgeable in the field of Electrophysiology. I travel from New York to Boston twice a year for the past 16 years as the care I receive at Beth Israel is unequivocally the best care ANYWHERE.

Dr. Peter Zimetbaum is an outstanding and thorough doctor, I was very fortunate to meet him when I was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy back in 1994. Thankfully, with his expertise, I was able to resume a normal routine and recover from this condition though careful monitoring. Patient, kind and he takes the time to really listen to his patients.
