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.

Absolutely the best team ever

Dr. Koutlas and his team were very kind and professional. Heart surgery is very scary, and I found them to be compassionate and understanding.

The provider provided an excellent overview of my condition and methodically went through a detailed easy to understand explanation. He also provided a broad over view of the options available and listed the pro and cons of each based on my unique issues. He did was intimately familiar with my prior testing even though this was a referral visit and was our first interaction. Excellent and professional and by his discussions appeared to an excellent surgeon and I left feeling confident in his about the decided upon surgery in about 6 weeks.

I felt very good about my appointment and understood what the surgery proposed and was able to determine what the possible outcomes would be if I chose to have this surgery which I desired not to have after weighing the other alternative surgery.
