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.

After chest pain and a stress test that showed abnormal results, dr battey advised me against a cardiac cath because of my kidney disease. (“The dye they use can cause further kidney damage”). He told me I was in no immediate danger and to come back in six months for a checkup. Within 2 months of dr battery’s advice, I took myself to the Emergency Room due to continuing chest pain. I was immediately admitted and a cardia cath was done (with no kidney damage resulting) and was told I had five major blockages (all 90% and over. The widow maker was 100% blocked). They immediately did quadruple bypass surgery. I was told that if I had gone into cardiac arrest, there would have been no saving me even with CPR. The ER doctor told me there are ways to protect the kidney during a cath procedure, and was appalled that dr battey would advise as he did and let me go home with no further action. I would never recommend this doctor!
