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.

He took care of both my parents who had a-fib and they lived to be 90 and 96. He was also my brother's doctor. He's mine, too, and I've had rheumatic fever and I have rheumatoid arthritis.

You can trust Dr. James Usedom! If it hadn't been for him, the blood clot in my heart wouldn't have been discovered.

I have been going to Dr. Usedom since 1988. He has actually saved my life. After my heart attack in 2004 Dr. Usedom would take time out of his busy day to call and check on me. He is very knowlegable,communicates well and makes one feel like you are his only patient. I have never felt rushed through an appointment. Dr. Usedom above all is a very king man and as long as he practices medicine I will be his patient. Thank you Dr. Usedom...Kathleen Corpening
