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.

Dr. Trimm was very rude!
Had he wanted a stress test from me, then all he needed to do is keep on talking. He created so much stress for me and also my daughter. He continually cut us off when we would try to speak. He was correcting us in medical terms we didn't know what he was talking about. He has lied on my medical report the things he wrote are not true. I will never see him again. He owes my daughter and I an apology for his rude behavior and not allowing us to speak. You want see me going back to him. I will be praying for Dr. Trimm to tell the truth and not falsely write things that are not true. Praying that he doesn't do any other patient the way he did to myself and daughter. You created so much stress and if I didn't know Jesus, you Dr. Trimm would destroy my life. You came at me negative speaking, short, snappy speaking. Nothing kind or positive came from your mouth!

Have never had a more caring doctor or one who takes better care of his patients. He takes time with his patients and involves the entire family. Intelligent, efficient and caring. Would never consider another cardiologist.
