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.

Great surgeon
I had a triple bypass surgery and never had any pain and was home in 2.5 days cooking breakfast for the family that were sleeping and 'taking care of me'! Dr. Joseph had his staff check up on me, and the surgery was so successful, I was totally released to begin workouts (light), at the gym. Great experience

Dr. Irving David and his staff are wonderful!
I recently had lung surgery. From the minute I walked into Dr. David’s office for a discussion about surgery, to my postop visit, I could not have been more pleased. Dr. David has decades of experience, and he’s friendly, kind, and patient, with a wonderful bedside manner. He has staff specifically designated for preop concerns or questions, postop concerns or questions, and anything in between! As one who is quite health-conscious, I had a number of concerns and questions along the way. Every one of them was addressed in a very respectful, timely, and caring manner. The office is like a family that welcomes a patient and wants to do everything they can to lessen a patient’s anxiety level. I highly recommend them.

NO SUCH A SIMPLE SURGERY
MY SISTER WENT IN FOR AN AORTIC ANEURYSM REPAIR. HE DID NOT FOLLOW UP WITH HER AFTER SURGERY WITH A CALL TO SEE HOW SHE WAS DOING. SHE WAS SENT HOME FROM HOSPITAL WITH NO INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CARE FOR HER WOUNDS. ENDED UP WITH AN INFECTION IN ONE OF HER INCISIONS AND WHEN THE DOCTOR WAS QUESTIONED ON PHONE HE SAID TO SEND HIM A PICTURE OF THE OOZING HE SAID IT WAS NOTHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT. SHE HAD A SLIGHT FEVER AND HE NEVER SUGGESTED ANTOBIOTICS. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SIMPLE SURGERY. SHE HAD TO STAY IN HOSPITAL A FEW DAYS BECAUSE OF OTHER COMPLICATIONS WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN DUE TO THIS SURGERY. SHE CAME HOME AND NOW SHE IS BACK IN HOSPITAL WITH ALL OTHER LIFE THREATENING PROBLEMS.

It is with the most appreciation for Dr. Irwing. He performed bypass surgery on me. And his professional steps and dedication to my surgery were paramount for success. It's been a month, I feel better, and I got a 2nd lease of life. Thank you, Dr. Irwing. God bless you. Walter

I recently requested Dr. Irving David to perform my upcoming pacemaker generator replacement. My request for Doctor David was based on his excellent credentials, his prior treatment of me when he performed a Quadruple Coronary Bypass, followed b the insertion of my first Pacemaker. I have always had great service from Dr. David's office staff. The staff is very pleasant, has been available to me, or has returned my calls in a reasonable amount of time. Dr. David doesn't rush through my appointment, and he is very straight forward. I trust him.

Dr. David literally saved my life. His abilities are superior to any in his field. He explained his approach and follow-up is direct yet listens to your input as you make your own decisions.

I recently had open heart mitral valve repair surgery with Dr. David. From the day I met him, he made me feel very comfortable with him, and confident in his knowledge. I consulted with a few surgeons, and he picked up on things that others did not. The surgery was successful and my recovery is going well. His office staff is very pleasant and easy to work with. His PA's are top notch. And the hospital where he operates, Holy Cross, is incredible. I highly recommend Dr. David.

Went to Dr. Irving David today to discuss his recommendation for by pass surgery. Im a 45 yo man, non smoker & dont drink. I had chest pains after an altercation at work. He did not listen to me or take the time to answer my questions. Within 5min he said, and i quote "If i was NOT there to schedule a surgery I was wasting his time with my questions" He was so horrible & arrogant today. This is a huge surgery in my opinion. He did nothing devalue my questions and made me feel small.

Dr, David did a mitral valve replacement. It was a life and death emergency (was in pulmonary edema). I feel better than ever after 2 years passed.
