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.

Obnoxious, overbearing and insulting.
After extensive tests, with no answers for my extremely low heart rate - he told me how to identify food groups (like it was a preschool class), and told me - with hands on - to bundle myself up (yes I'm fat and it was winter) and go for lots of nice walks.That if I did that he 'wouldnt recognize me when I came back' as he led me to the appt desk.I politely made up some excuse to the woman, and ran screaming.I saw another cardiologist who diagnosed (with stress test, and one visit) bradycardia, with thyroid treatment (fingers crossed no pacemaker needed). I've been 'cured' for yrs, with a few pills per week.

I love Dr. Bourganos. He explains things clearly and has a genuine concern for his patients. He takes the time to listen to your concerns. I've always had a good experience with the staff. They're friendly and efficient. If you need to see a cardiologist I would highly recommend him.

Dr Bourganos is extremely thorough and genuinely concerned for his patients. He explains things very clearly, and answers any questions. Sometimes I've had a bit of a wait for the appt, but that is because he truly takes each patient as an individual. I have never felt like he was too rushed, or not entirely focused on my care. I wish all doctors were as good as he is!

Dr. Bourganos is actually very nice and we really liked him. The problem is with the staff. The office opens at 9am but the phones don't get answered until they decide to show up. When they do answer the phone they are short with you and sometimes rudeas if it's your fault they are slammed because they are late. I do not want to see people eating their lunch and having personal conversations. Unprofessional.
