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 Wilks was able to reassure me that I didn't have several cardiac health issues another doctor told me I had. He knew the reputation of the previous doctor and let me know that my sense that something was wrong with the dire diagnosis I'd received was accurate. When it came to the one issue that did need to be treated, he involved me in my options and we made the treatment choice together. He listens, has a kind and gentle demeanor and is someone I trust.

I have been a patient of Dr. Wilks' for eight years and now my husband is a patient also. His care has been great in every way, so much so that we have recommended him to our close friends and family members. We have great confidence in him and he is always willing to take time to explain everything. All of his staff members are very friendly, especially Nurse Tammy. I know you will feel comfortable with his care and we recommend him in every way.

Went to Dr. Wilks for an echo cardiogram. He explained the results in great detail. He is an excellent doctor, and if I need a cardiologist, he's the guy I want to see. His whole office operation is top notch.

Dr. Wilks has been my doctor fifteen years. He is a super fantastic doctor! I have recommended him to everyone who needs to see a cardiologist. He is very good at explaining everything so that you can easily understand results, tests and any procedures that may need to be done. He takes time to listen and answer any questions or concerns you may have.
