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.

The best of the best
This was about 5 years ago, but he saved my dads life. He was about to get discharged with lower than 10% heart function and Dr. Daum came in and stopped everything. He got my dad I to Tampa general where he ended up receiving a heart transplant. Thank you for all you did for him.

Excellent doctor!
Dr. Daum is the best! Listens, communicates well, and I don't feel rushed when he sees me. I have seen several doctors here in Cape Coral, and Dr. Daum is by far the best doctor I have seen. I feel better than I have in a couple of years after only 1 visit with Dr. Daum.

Extraordinary arrogance.
Went looking for experience and knowledge but my opinions and questions were dismissed out of hand as irrelevant, unacceptable, and taken as a personal assault on his credentials and experience. He refused me as a patient citing my inability to accept his opinions 100% without benefit of factual reasoning and without providing me with research data to support his view. The feeling was mutual. He is a prime example of the kind of arrogance that is not acceptable to patients who think for themselves and want to be involved and engaged in decisions regarding their health and treatment options, with an eye toward decision making predicated on new and factual research vs. personal ego.

Excellent communicator
My new Apple watch told me that I had A Fib & my primary care physician confirmed it thru an ECT. I was referred to Dr Daum. He reconfirmed A Fib and did a thorough job of reviewing my health history...vaccinations, Rx's, surgeries, etc. I left feeling much more confident about my A Fib and what I can do with it.

Finally a Cardiologist that cares
Dr. Daum is the first Cardiologist I found that actually looks you in the eye and listens to your situation. I went through several other Cardiologists before I found Dr. Daum. All they ever wanted to do was prescribe drugs. After seeing Dr. Daum for two years now I am off most of my medications and my health is far better than I ever dreamed. Thank you dr. Daum!!

dr. daum is a valuable asset to the lee health system in lee county florida. I strongly believe he saved my life back in january 2017, by ordering a stress test and taking a good hard look at my family history. He was concerned about the results of my stress test and rightly so, as i ended up with having a triple bypass. Thank you dr. daum

I could not believe how thorough, kind and caring Dr Daum was to me. He is a brilliant yet humble doctor with a nice sense of humor. It was refreshing to find a physician that puts the interests and needs of his patient first. I am blessed to call him my doctor and have recommended him ever so highly to all my friends and relatives. He is wonderful!
