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.

Do NOT waste your time with this person
I was referred to this man by my PC doctor after having a carotid artery issue. After waiting for more than 2 hours, he walked into the room, sat down and said, I’m Dr. Hiltz, there’s nothing wrong with your arteries, you don’t need a vascular surgeon and you should just be happy you don’t need a vascular surgeon. He never mentioned the CT scan and ultrasound I had in preparation for this appointment. He never asked me anything about my reason for being there. I responded with..who would you suggest I see then? He said, you should just be happy there’s nothing wrong with your arteries, stood up and said have a good day and walked out And let me be clear, this conversation with him literally lasted only about 2 minutes…after I waited all that time to see him. This man is a rude, arrogant, and uncaring person and is as unprofessional as they come. He should be ashamed of how he treated me today. Do yourself a favor and FIND someone else!!!

Absolutely horrible! Poor excuse for a doctor. Will NEVER go back there . "this person" was supposed to consult with me regarding test results a few days earlier. He started by saying "you have a lot of things wrong with you" followed by a 10 - 15 minute speech on how he was going to be paid no matter what he told me and mentioned how his wife enjoyed his monetary income. I subsequently picked up a copy of my 2 visits to Augusta Vascular. I was appalled. The paragraph he wrote was a compilation of absolute lies. Things I never said were quoted. The worst experience I have ever had with a so called medical professional.
