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.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Pannella since 2013. In my opinion he is one of the best doctors I have. He’s knowledgeable and he cares about his patients. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Pannella has great bed side manor and cares about his patients. He gives 100% of himself each time I have made a visit to his office and behind the scenes. He is smart, intelligent and experienced Doctor using the most current state of the art techniques. I am extremely picky with my choices of doctors and I trust fully with my life! His office staff and personal assistant has been been very helpful and nice to me too. I highly recommend him and his colleagues. 5 stars out of 5 stars!

Dr. Pannella is hands down the best Cardiologist. He has been treating my husband for about 2 years now and he is always patient and explains things very clearly. He takes the time to listen to his patients concerns and goes over all options. He is very compassionate and thorough. He literally saved my husbands life and for that I was always be eternally grateful.

Dr. Panella is professionally compassionate and thoughtful and closely listens. He always takes the time to explain things and I never feel rushed through my visits. While in the care of another doctor during a hospital stay, where Dr. Panella does not currently have access, he coordinated with his colleague to ensure continuous care for me and monitored my progress daily. His support staff are terrific too.always pleasant and willing to assist. Summary in three words: caring but professional.

Dr Pannella is compassionate, bright, articulate, pleasant, endearing, and very well spoken. My mother has been ill and each time we go to visit him, it is such a pleasant visit, even when the news isn't always the best - he has an incredible bedside manner. In fact I have been seeing a cardiologist for many years and I have decided to change my cardiologist to Dr Pannella.

Dr. Pannella is the best. He has an excellent bedside manner. He makes you feel comfortable, and explains things in an easy to understand fashion. I feel that I can bring anything up with him, and he will address it to the best of his ability. He ALWAYS calls back when you leave a message, and communicates very well, with patients referring physicians, and family members. I am blessed that I crossed paths with this doctor.

Dr. Panella is without a doubt the best doctor I have ever met. Clinically, he is a fabulous diagnostician and he is able to solve, treat, and manage complex medical problems. But even more importantly, he is a kind, caring, and compassionate doctor. He will answer all your questions, in layman's language, and he will spend as much time with you as you need. He truly cares about his patients and knows them as individuals. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
