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.

Excellent cardiologist
Dr. Dorfman thoroughly explains everything and listens to your questions concerns. I am very pleased with this physician

Great Results!
I have been a patient of Dr. Dorfman for several years, and I can tell you he is always thoughtful and thorough. On my last visit we had a discussion about dehydration as I had been worried about how it can make you feel. I always feel reassured whenever I come to his office.

Was assigned to Dr. Dorfman. Had high blood pressure problems. Was given medications. None worked. He continued medication although not working. Blood pressure matters became serious with reading in the lower 200s. He became frustrated and assigned me to a Physician Assistant. She could not help either. Was told to keep trying medication. Had to leave him and seek solution elsewhere which I did with great success. Taken off the medication Dr. Dorfman prescribed as dangerous. When you have serious blood pressure issued seek others.

I encountered Dr. Dorfman while an in patient at the hospital seven years ago for a non-cardiac issue. As fortune would have it, while in the hospital, I went in to an arrhythmia and Dr. Dorfman came to assist me. Subsequently, I have seen Dr. Dorfman for testing and follow-up. Dr. Dorfman has performed two stenting procedures for me and helped manage my hypertension and arrhythmia. Dr. Dorfman is knowledgeable and explains things well. Dr. Dorfman understands how my other medical situations impact my heart health and explains that to me. I feel at peace with him. I will let no other cardiologist work with me. Dr. Dorfman also takes time to get to know my family and answer their questions. I moved from the Hermitage area four years ago but I still travel back to Hermitage to see Dr. Dorfman. My heart health concerns me and often stresses me but Dr. Dorfman has a way of calming me down and relaxing me. Highly Recommended. -Paul Adams, Gallatin, TN

Extremely disappointed in this doctor. Very unprofessional attitude and behavior towards patient and family. Without even seeing patient, refused treatment and instead started berating family. Turned very condescending when questioned about medical opinion.
