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.

After having a stress test, echocardiogram and maybe a 5 minute visit with Dr Bandow, I was told that my heart was fine, continue on, no further treatment necessary. Skip 8 months and BAM...a nice heart attack that requires life flight, 3 days in ICU and the placement of 3 stents! Not impressed! My "New " heart Dr. Reports to me that this problem with my heart has been there quite a long period of time, longer than 8 months!

Not only was he extremely arrogant when he treated my mom. I believe he contributed to her death. She had been on three different water pills prescribed by her doctors in California, one for over 10 years. He took her off all three saying that she didn't need to be on them. She went into congestive heart failure and pneumonia soon thereafter and passed. I believe she would still be with us if he hadn't taken her off the water pills.

My other cardiologist was scratching his head trying to figure out my recent serious downturn in my heart condition. Met with Dr. Bandow for several hours after he had reviewed my previous records (all 123 pages of them) and tests. He had me complete a couple of more tests which were scheduled that same day and then he nailed the problem and the treatment on the head and I believe saved my life. I would certainly recommend Dr. Bandow for competent and complete heart care.
