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 Navetta has been my physician for 14 yrs. He is very open and straight forward when answering any questions. He is a wonderful physician. His staff are always pleasant and courteous. I feel like he actually listens to me about my health and answers my questions. I don't trust many Drs, but I trust Dr. Navetta whole heartedly! My husband, my father and my brother also are his patients. I would send my own family to anyone that I didn't respect or trust.

He is an absolute blessing to his profession. He really goes out of his way to make me, his patient, and my family feel at ease and takes time to clear any doubts, answer any question and is a phone call away. I've been a patient of his for over 8 years and I thank him for all he's done for me. God Bless

I met Dr. Navetta for the first time today, and to say I was impressed is an understatement. He explained everything thoroughly before and after my mom’s surgical procedure, and seemed genuinely concerned about my mom as a person and as a patient.

I like his straight forward approach and the information he gives to assure understanding about the medical issue, treatment and results to shoot for and/or expect. I have rec. him to everyone I know who has been told to see a cardiologist, or who may be unhappy with the care they are receiving somewhere else. He listens well and speaks directly to you. Let's face it, seeing a cardiologist is not high on anyone's hit parade- May as well see the best and be treated with respect.
