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. Athar, along with Dr. Gregory Price are instrumental in resolving a heart condition that has persisted and gone unnoticed for over 10 years. Their concern and expertise led to the discovery of a blocked artery that was having a major negative impact on my daily life. The procedure was done and I feel like a new person. Thank you Dr. Athar!
