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.

Dr. Safko is smartest person in any room
I’ve been blessed to have Dr. Safko since suffering a heart attack in 2002. I now drive 90 miles each way with $20 tolls to see her because you don’t give up a great doctor. She is a patient listener and diagnostic. If you can get her, do it.

Very Caring Cardiologist
Anne Safko is a first rate, caring cardiologist. Very scientificaly engaged. In the past I have had issues with the bureaucracy in communicating with Va Heart because it is such a huge practice., However, in my recent interaction with them that has changed for the better. Quick responses from the staff and desired results were achieved in a short time period.

An excellent doctor in every way!
Dr Safko is one of the best doctors I’ve been to! She’s very knowledgeable, experienced yet keeping up to date. She’s caring, always listening to your concerns and considers the patient’s desires. She spends more than adequate time with you and thoroughly addresses your issues. My husband and I dread the day Dr Safko retires! We highly recommend Dr Safko!

Outstanding Doctor and a wonderful person!
Dr. Safko cares about her patients. She does NOT do assembly line, quota exams. She takes the time to actually explain, in non-medical terms, everything, so the patient is not left wondering what she said. She is dedicated, seems to love statistics and studies and makes what could be an anxious visit comfortable. Thank you Dr. Safko for caring. JEN
