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.

Needs to retire
I wouldn’t go here if i was in cardiac arrest. Unfortunately my mother is an endless cycle of tests here and all they do is order more and make her wait forever

Been going to Dr. Popper office for years, starting to be a little suspicious of ALL the testing and meds. They placed a loop recorder in me ( suggested a pace maker which I refused) and played me on meds. Went for a second opinion, guess what! Apparently never needed the loop recorder AND should never had been placed on this medication. Thank the lord I went for a second opinion. Seems it's only about the money money money ! Wish I ran wayyyy sooner!!! IMAGINE I did the pacemaker!!!

Most unprofessional, arrogant doctor I have ever come across. Love Rachele but he is the one that makes decisions in the office. Would advise in looking for another cardiologist. Don't waste your time or money with him!

Dr. Popper, Deb and the entire staff are simply wonderful. I felt very comfortable and very informed about my situation. Dr. Popper and Deb come in and I never feel like they are in a hurry to move to the next patient. They take their time with you and let you ask as many questions as you need. I am very thankful that they were the recommendation of my PCP.

Very knowledgeable, takes as much time as needed and does not have his face stuck in a computer. He treats the patient, not the EHR system!
