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.

No communication and poor technique
This doctor refused to meet me preop for cardiac bypass surgery. Post op he walked into the room, said you are doing fine and left. I had no opportunity to even meet him or ask my questions. Post op a suture was left sticking out of my leg at the vein graft site. This eventually became infected. Not good medicine. I would not recommend this doctor.

In 2016 he performed major surgery upon my heart. He replaced my aorta valve with a mechanical one. Then repaired a hole in my heart, and two other valves that were leaking, mitral, tricuspid. Not even 2 years later, I got sick thought I was dying went back to cardiologist for tests to be told, I had to have another heart surgery because the two valves, mitral, tricuspid were leaking worse then they were before they were fixed in 2016. I almost died!!!
