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.

No concern for patients
I almost died (no exaggeration) while he was performing a simple procedure. My B/P dropped, pulse raced, throat closed, etc. I was in anaphylaxis!! He didn't even stop the procedure. He told me that I was experiencing anxiety! I whispered, "no. I need help". The nurse knew what was happening and kicked into gear, saving my life. He walked out. Later, he came back into my room (since I didn't get to leave). His pompous self said "wow you look rough. I guess you were having a reaction". Do not use this man as a physician, unless you want subpar care.

My experience has been just the opposite of most of the above reviews. He has treated my a-fib for over 15 years. I have found him to be very friendly, a good bedside manner, and always answers all my questions thoroughly. I would certainly recommend him to friends.

he's been my cardiologist for a while now, and I will stay if you watch Grey's Anatomy he reminds me of Christina Yang not necessarily the friendliest doctor in the world but he's a very good doctor. His bedside manner is not so hot, but I can Overlook that for the simple fact that I know he is doing his very best to take care of my heart not my feelings

Arrogant, rude, never listened, never told me anything, never did anything except to make me feel like i was wasting his time, when I asked if I was, his reply was, “I wasn’t going to say that”

My friend told me about her experience with this doctor. He was extremely rude bordering on hateful. She was disappointed and upset with his attitude and will be seeking another doctor.

This man is my father's cardiologist. He is absolutely the rudest, least compassionate doctor I've EVER met. My first issue came the night he put a pacemaker in my dad. He had a consultation with my mom and me, and he gave us bad news. We had concerns we needed addressed, but in the middle of my mom asking a question he cut her off and said "I've been here since 6:00 am, I'm going to call it a day". He then got up and walked out. Since then, he has continued a trend of rudeness. DO NOT RECOMMEND
