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.

We love Dr Waked he literally saved my husband's life. Takes extra time with us and never rushes us when we have questions. Highly recommend Dr Waked if you are looking for a cardiologist. If we could give a him 10 stars we would! We feel very blessed to be under his care.

Dr. Waked is the first cardiologist I have seen who took the time to discuss all my test results, and after spending 45 minutes with me, prescribe what has turned out to be the perfect medications I needed to control my hypertension. I feel SO fortunate to have found him.

Dr. Alain Waked is an amazing cardiologist!!! I almost don't want to post this because once people start realizing how wonderful he is it will be hard to see him. But, everyone deserves to have a doctor that has amazing talents; wonderful skills; great intelligence with knowledge; and also cares about his patients. It is rare to find a doctor that has sooo many qualities as Dr. Waked has. My husband and I have been seeing him for an over eight years. He is WONDERFUL!!!

He’s Brilliant
Okay so I have been to several Cardiologists in my days and they have prescribed so many drugs to lower my blood pressure, but nothing worked due to the fact that I’m highly allergic to many of them. When I finally got to hear from Dr Waked, he seemed to know exactly what I needed and exactly how much to take and how to take the new medications he prescribed to me. Long story short, they worked! For the first time in so many days, I see my vitals looking normal again! It’s such a relief to know that I finally found a Doctor who can really empathize and totally know the solution to my health issues. Thanks a bunch! I’m truly grateful???????? Your friend and biggest fan
