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 Cardiges was my radiation oncologist for my treatment of prostate cancer. After 45 radiation treatments at Easton Hospital my cancer was reduced in size and growth and the latest PSA reading was .1 down from 5.6 at outset. There were some common side effects from the radiation treatment which Dr. Cardiges explained. He is well prepared and accurate targeting of the treatment area will give the best results with the least side effects. My life has been extended and there is very little side effects from radiation treatment. I very strongly recommend Dr. Cardiges and his very caring staff!

I am related to a family named Kardiges or Cardiges. They lived in the McKeesport area sometime in the 1930's or so. Are you perhaps related to a Steve or Helen Kardiges. Sorry for the bother and thanks for your time.

Poor billing practices, charges for services not received. Lies to other Dr.s that he has gone over scans with patients and doesn't. Did not know how to properly treat 2nd & 3rd degree burns. Cannot explain what blood work levels are for. Giggles at every problem and his reply to every medical issue is go see the social worker. I finished treatment with more medical problems than I started. Does not communicate and only says wonderful for everything. Should be fired, gives St. Lukes a bad rep.
