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. Mitchell Dreisman
This is only my second visit with Dr. Dreisman. Very friendly but always professional and is patient in answering my questions in “plain English”. I also have diabetes and in reviewing my injectable diabetes medication, he recommended that I change to a different injectable because it provided better protection from heart attacks in diabetics like me. I am very pleased that he is my cardiologist and highly recommend him to anyone concerned about their heart.

I have been seeing Dr. Driesman for the past 15 years. It was a chance meeting , when I ended up in the emergency room at Bridgeport Hospital and Dr. Driesman was covering. That was one of the best things that ever happened to me by chance. I have the greatest respect and admiration for him. I can always talk to him, and he actually listens. I trust him completely with his advise and expertise and wouldn't have it any other way.

Dr. Driesman is a physician in the true sense of the word, a healer. In the eighth decade of our lives we have found few doctors like him. He is an excellent cardiologist and a caring and thoughtful human being.

I called on Monday or Tuesday and was able to get an appointment for Wednesday, that never happens with Dr’s offices. Dr Driesman is always very concerned regarding your health and what he can do to make it better for you. I would definitely refer my family and friends to him.
