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.

In 2014, Dr Goncalves was changing out my mechanical aortic valve to a cow valve. During the procedure he noticed an aortic aneurysm that had not been visible on a echocardiogram.He and his staff immediately repaired the ascending aorta and finished the valve replacement. His quick thinking and surgical skills saved my life.
