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.

This was my first time visiting doctor Aziken. I was referred to this doctor and I am very pleased with my visit. Doctor Aziken explained everything in detail and answered all of my questions.

Only Doctor I have ever had complete faith in.
He is the most approachable and prrsonal physician I have ever dealt with. It's not just bed side manner,, he is sincere and as comfortable as a good friend would be. Explains everything in ways anyone should be able to understand.

Life Saving Surgery
I was recently facing bypass surgery and my brother had Dr Aziken do his bypass surgery a year ago so I asked to have him do mine as well. Best decision I've made. Against my odds he made it work and I am living testimony to the great job he did.

One of the best doctors I’ve ever had
Dr Nkem Aziken did my VATS surgery and pleurodectomy for a spontaneous right pneumothorax. My surgery was sudden and unexpected. Dr Aziken stepped in and stepped up. He was brilliant. He was kind and patient with me and answered all my questions and drew pictures so I understood exactly what was going to be happening. We even had a game plan for went I went home on what medications I could take as i am very sensitive to meds. I honestly don’t think I could of done this without him and I will always recommend him in the future. Thank you Dr Aziken for saving my life!

He has outstanding bedside manner and beyond excellent skill as a cardiothoracic surgeon. He was amazing to me and my family through the entire process leaning up to replacing my ascending aorta which had a aneurysm and my aortic valve which was severely failing. He was swift making sure all of my testing was completed very quickly, even a heart cath to make sure there were no surprises when he went in for the repair. His hospital and office teams are just a kind as can be, like we were there family members. They were attentive to all of our needs with no question asked. I would not hesitate to refer anyone to Dr Aziken!!!
