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.

My recent visit with Dr. Socrates Aramburu was very positive and I would very highly recommend him to anyone seeking a cardiologist. He never makes you feel uncomfortable or speaks to you with a "belittling" tone) Dr. Aramburu is and has always been very knowledgeable, professional, kind, caring and respectful. I can assure you that your health concerns will be taken of with the highest of degree of experience, care and compassion.

My wife patient with Dr Arambu 15+ yrs. She was released from the hospital on Jan 9 & told to follow up with her Cardiologist. I called for a "Follow Up" appt & the receptionist gave me March 12, 2019. I stated this was a "Follow Up" apt from hospital & should be scheduled ASAP. She stated no apt was available sooner. I called back to speak with Dr's rse who has attended to my wife in the past was told Nurse was off. I stated Mar 12 was UNACCEPTABLE. wife could die by then. VERY DISAPPOINTING

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Aramburu to anyone seeking high-quality, professional care. If you are looking for a doctor who really listens, cares and takes time to make you feel comfortable in what medical measures need to be taken for YOUR particular individual needs then you need to make an appointment to see Dr. Aramburu NOW. He is what a doctor should be, highly knowledgeable, up to date, caring, and compassionate.
