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.

Great Doctore
Dr Pez handled an angiogram and stent for me last week. He was extremely warm and easy to talk with. Would recommend him to any friend or family. Smart guy, good bedside.

Dr Pezeshki is a very fine cardiologist with top notch clinical and people skills. His staff are very professional and helpful. Dr Pezeshki has cared for my mom for many years. She is 99 and he, I believe, has certainly kept her alive and flourishing.

Dr. Pezeski is a very good doctor. He is very professional and easy to talk to. I wanted to see a cardiologist to check on my heart health, since I have heart disease in my family, and new he was the cardiologist to go to. Five years earlier, my husband was having some issues with his heart and Dr. Pezeski did his angiogram. He came out to tell us how serious my husband’s situation was and that he needed heart surgery because of blocked arteries. We were very upset to say the least. Dr. Pezeski has such a calming and professional presence and we felt confident after talking to him about what needed to be done. Within an hour my husband was in surgery having a quadruple bypass. He is alive today, happy and health, and we cannot think Dr. Pezeski enough!

We met Dr. Pez when my Dad went into the hospital for a heart attack. My dad has never trusted doctors and was the reason he didn't see a doctor sooner. Pez's bedside manner, confidence and calmness immediately put my scared Dad at ease. Turns out my Dad needed double bypass surgery. I believe the only reason my dad went through with the surgery that saved his life was because of Dr. Pez. He was always been available and listened without ego. He has been amazing and we are forever grateful!
