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.

Husband died one month after seeing this doc
Dr Summe saw my husband in the ER for chest pain in July 2024. He diagnosed him with anxiety and sent him home. In late August 2024, my husband died of sudden cardiac arrest. His LAD was 100% blocked and another coronary artery was 75% blocked. He had a widowmaker heart attack. Could have been prevented had this doctor been more thorough.
