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. Holzer is one of the most caring doctors I have had the pleasure of having. His staff is no different and will go the length to make sure all is well. He does not rush you in and out, expect a wait because he takes time with his patients and actually listens. Seriously not a typical doctor, he is a good man. Thank you Dr. Holzer

As soon as we arrived we were invited to the exam room. My grandchild interfaced with a nurse, 2 technicians, a doctor intern and Dr Holzer. The staff was child friendly. I felt so reassured by the thoroughness of the tests and interviews that preceded the examination by Dr Hokzer, I appreciate being in an environment where the competence of the providers were displayed. I am grateful for that experience.

Dr Holzer went above and beyond for my son. He has the best bedside manner. He made sure his patient ( my son) was comfortable. As a parent you can't ask for a better doctor. My son has had this procedure done 3 times and the other doctors can not compare to Dr Holzer. We strongly recommend Dr Holzer and will always be grateful to him and his staff.

He spent a good amount of time reviewing data/info, then explaining the condition to the patient (who is a minor) in a very simple and effective manner. Answered all the questions and made himself directly available through cell and email. Only note: he spoke a little too fast for patient to assimilate all details. Overall a very positive experience. BE AWARE; The grading at the bottom of the page is not working properly!

Dr. Ralph J. Holzer, is a true master of hearts. Our 5 year old daughter had an ASD Catheter procedure done. Throughout the entire pre-visit, during the procedural stay, and during the post-op visit Dr. Holzer had the ideal level of beside manners, was informative, clear, patient, and very child friendly, all of which made the entire experience be very calm and smooth. During the procedure itself, he worked with precision, quicker than expected, and came, to update us immediately. His team is highly professional, friendly, and informative as well. His care is the best.

Our daughter suddenly started having palpitations and dizziness while participating in sports. The episodes were sporadic, however, and we had no idea what to make of them. If it were not for his thoroughness the dangerous condition may have continued undiagnosed since she easily passed the routine checks and stress test. An event was finally recorded on a monitor. Dr. Holzer did a great job making us relax as he explained what was happening and referred us to a specialist. Our daughter has since been cured with a heart procedure and is participating in sports once again.

Dr. Holzer is experienced, kind, and takes the time to explain the sometimes complicated details of my daughter's condition. He spends as much time as I need to understand what's going on, and differentiates procedures to accommodate our needs. Her cath procedures have been safe and effective.

Dr. Holzer and staff were extremely kind and treated my son and I with respect. It was clear from all interactions that Dr. Holzer was extremely knowledgeable and committed to the best treatment and outcomes for my son. He made sure to explain the procedure in extreme detail and made himself easily available to answer questions and concerns. I would definitely recommend him.
