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.

Never again
If you would like to see a doctor that is almost impossible to get a hold of, then Dr. Chambers is for you! For days and days I would call his office only to have the phone ring and ring. When I finally got through I was able to set up a phone conference. I carved out time at work for the time the office gave me, only to have Dr. Chambers call an hour late, and I was unable to take the call. I will never go to see him again, and would advise anyone looking for a cardiologist to look anywhere else. The office staff is very unfriendly, and make it an even worse experience.

Dr. Chambers should be ashamed of himself
I have been seeing Dr. Chambers for a while, but something was different this time. He treated me awfully in my most recent appointment. He did not let me speak more than a few words at a time, and I felt that I didn't have an ample opportunity to explain my entire situation and what had been happening to me. He did not review the paperwork I filled out for symptoms I had been experiencing recently. He did not listen to my heart or lungs, and I did not feel listened to in the appointment at all, despite trying to articulate all of my symptoms. He insisted on arguing with me, gaslighting, and talking over me when I caught him in a lie. I've actually never been so disrespected at a doctor's appointment. Doctors like this need to understand that people are coming to them when they are at their most vulnerable and weakest. You NEED to listen to your patients, no matter how stupid you think they are. Completely despicable behavior by this doctor. There's seriously no excuse.

Could not answer simple questions.
He had been my dr for 17 years. He was present 25 of the 40 times Ive gone to ICU or heart ward and could not tell me what sent me there. My out of state records were sent twice and he made excuses of why he didnt look at them. He said find another dr since to much is going on in my case.

I’d select 0 if I could
My father visited Dr Chambers in 2021 after his cardiologist moved. Dr Chambers took my father off a medication that kept his heart beating. After his cardiac arrest THREE Drs in the hospital (including his electrophysiologist who had put him on the medication said Dr Chambers should have never taken him off of it. Miraculously my father was revived but had complete renal failure and was on on dialysis until he died a year and 3 months later. (Needless to say, he did not go back to Dr Chambers in that year and three months)I truly believe had Dr Chambers took the time to talk to my father’s other doctors he would have known he could not live without the meds. My dad trusted him and he is now gone.

Dr. Chambers seems through. But one of his assistants was incorrect. I was asked to have an echogram. I was told that I had to lay on my left side. I had previous echograms while seated. It is very uncomfortable for me to lay on my left side. I left. I do not like being made uncomfortable.

I have never had a Dr, let alone a specialist, be so nice and patient with me. He ended up ordering an additional echo to be taken (I am a 31 y/o female with genetic cardiomyopathy). Instead of having it taken and sending me a non descriptive letter in the mail, he wanted to be notified when it was done. He then came into the room and reviewed the images right in front of me. Explaining what everything was, and where there was and was not cause for concern. I am so happy to have him as my doctor
