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.

He cares about his patients he truly is a great Dr
Been going there 8years and he really try’s to do all he can to help you

Disregard for the severity of my condition.
Diagnosed “small blockage” based on one test. Did not follow up with current diagnostic protocols. Never asked about my condition but instead rambled on about politics and personal subjects and took personal cell phone calls during my appointment. My new dr diagnosed a 90% LAD (widowmaker) blockage and an 80% RCA blockage and I had to have angioplasty and stents. I do not recommend this dr.

Outstanding Cardiologist
Dr, Citrin has been my cardiologist for about 5 years, and my husband’s for many more. We have great respect for his ability to diagnose, treat, perform surgery, and make recommendations for a plan of action. He has demonstrated his expertise in many different situations; for example, when I began having atrial fibrillation several months ago, he took immediate action and got it under control right away. My husband has a history of heart disease, and Dr. Citrin tests him regularly to keep ahead of any complications. His demeanor is always calming if we have any fears, and we both trust his judgment. He has an excellent support staff of very capable, caring, and well-trained individuals, who are very good at communicating. We would highly recommend Dr. Citrin to anyone looking for an excellent cardiologist.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Citrin, he's a life saver. He saved my life in 2012 by finding a blocked artery and installed a stint which was a potential widow maker. Last year he discovered my wife had three blocked arteries and installed two stints and saved her life. My mother in law this year had some heart trouble and he diagnosed she had three blockages and installed three stints hence forth saving her life. So here is a doctor who saved the lives of three family members.

So very thankful for Dr. Citrin and his staff. My dad wasn't bouncing back from a hospital stay from a lung/breathing issue. Dr. Citrin listened to Dad, discussed his symptoms was proactive in obtaining labs and getting my dad in to see a Gastroenterologist who was able to diagnose and treat dad. I am so grateful to Dr. Citrin for his care and treatment of my dad.

Dr. Citrin is awesome. My husband saw him for a second opinion and he listens! He treated my husband immediately and did what needed to be done and didn't delay. He not only took care of his cardiac issues, he took into consideration how it affected him emotionally. You won't regret choosing him!

Simply one of the most caring and genuine doctors I've ever had. His kindness and caring gives you the sense that you are his most important patient when he is attending you. He makes you feel like you're a part of his family. The sparkle in his eyes as he speaks to you shows how much he loves his work. I am so blessed to have found him. I 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a great Doctor!

Love Dr.Citrin and his entire staff. I actually was a patient of one of his old partners. I heard so many great things about him so I decided to change cardiologist. The wait time at his new office is wonderful. I have more time to talk to him and he doesn't rush me in and out. I believe he has a Dr. Larry that works with him, I think he's new so needs a little experience, got a few of my meds mixed up.
