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.

Extraordinary doctor
Dr. Schussheim is an excellent doctor who really listens to his patients' concerns. I feel very fortunate that I was referred to him. His patients are real people to him, not just problems to be fixed. That one can tell that in a brief visit is a testament to his compassion. His excellent credentials tell the rest of the story, but this quality is something rare.

Great Doctor
Great doctor. Very calm and reassuring manner. Does a great job translating the medical terms of my care into language that makes sense to me. Dr. Schussheim also takes his time answering my questions. I never feel like any questions or concerns I have are an imposition. I also never feel like he is in a rush to get to the next patient. I would highly recommend Dr. Schussheim to anyone in need of a good cardiologist.

I had a horrible experience with Dr. Schussheim. I was reprimanded for not taking the vaccine , hushed when I voiced my opinion on the vaccine and my concerns about my heart problems were basically shrugged off. I would never return to this office and neither will anyone in my family. This man is very rude and showed no empathy as a physician.
