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.

Did very little
Went to the appt. Very quick appt. with brief and somewhat meaningless explanation. Did not address the problem the GP referred me about, did not decide any further testing. Left starting back over at the GP. Cannot recommend this doctor.

Told me I was (Vagal) and to take a PPI when I was having Ventricular tachycardia w/ syncope. Never looked my loop until days later and I had to go elsewhere to have an emergency ICD placed. In my opinion at least for the safety of myself I consider him a very dangerous provider- again my opinion... He's also very aggressive in his management - has a high level of procedures compared to peers... but whatever works for you! He appears kind, but will change his tune once there is a disagreement or complication. He will find someone else to blame- always. I knew him well- so VERY disappointed. This is not a reflection on the organization as there are several other good providers to choose from.
