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 Vacante addressed my symptoms by changing a medication I was taking that had been prescribed by another physician I saw. This made a huge difference in how I felt and it was likely that I was having an adverse reaction to the original medication, so my symptoms would not have improved without Dr Vacante making this change. Dr Vacante is a very smart doctor who is very good at diagnosing problems, and an excellent cardiologist that will take great care of your heart. I recommend him.

PCP sends me to the ER, turns out it's CHF. Meet Dr. Vacante while I was in the hospital, apparently he was assigned to me. Aftger dealing with him and North Ohio Heart for the past 7 months, I can say that this man is possibly the worst cardiologist in that group. He has terrible bedside manners and treats you as if you're wasting his time. Comes in the room, sees how you're doing, dosn't like you asking follow up questions and gets defensive if you try to argue on behalf of yourself.

Rudeness should be his specialty! Spends the least amount of time possible with you , tells you absolutely nothing, acts if he could care less if you live or die! Bedside manner is absolutely terrible! Please find a different doctor before you see him!!!!

He did not listen to concerns; refused to complete a prior authorization for a medication he prescribed; refused to consult with a primary care physician within his own medical group
