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 ROUGAS IS ALWAYS CONCERNED..WE LOVE DR ROUGAS

Dr. Rougas should get a 5 - Star rating. No exaggeration, he is seriously the best doctor I have EVER encountered. He is spot-on and totally current with Cardiology (and nutrition, exercise and vitamin) research/data and he is brilliantly trained, innovative and thinks outside the proverbial box without disregard to convention. He listens extremely well and speaks slowly and with clarity, and he encourages preventive diagnostics when appropriate. He is a forward-thinking clinician, and he inspires me to be the very best I can be. These qualities are vitally important to me.
