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.

Awesome doctor in many ways!

This man is the best doctor on Earth and the OSU James Heart Hospital is AMAZING! If you are looking for a doctor that truly knows what he's doing and will take care of you no matter what, this is the man to see. Dr. Augostini and his staff are phenomenal and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else working on me.

Dr. Augostini is patient, thorough and the best in his field. For such a large hospital, we felt we mattered with our health concerns. The staff is so friendly and courteous. It was worth the drive to have the procedure done. I would recommend him to anyone. Our room nurse, Lisa, was terrific.

Been trying to get ahold of office staff to discuss paperwork, cannot get anyone. Have left 4 voicemails. My husband left 2 and I have left 2. My husband is the patient but I am his caregiver. There should be another way to get ahold of his office instead of going through the Ross Heart Hospital operator.

Dr. Augostini is extremely skillful as a cardiologist and electrophysiologist in my opinion. I personally had experience with 2 other experts who were unable to solve my problems. Through his care and approach, I have been in sinus rhythm for the last 4 years.
