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.

Amazing!!! Very dedicated!
Dr. Robert Smith takes time to explain his recommendations and is so informed! Really a great cardiologist!

I went with my mother to her appointment with him and he barely gives any precise answer. One time he told me we as doctors don’t get paid well enough to give advice. Well he just got 300$ from my insurance for that appointment so dissatisfied fro him and then I called the office because the medication never made it to the pharmacy. The person answering the phone call even ruder. Just don’t go there.

Dr. Smith has been my doctor since my severe heart attack in 1999 when he saved my life while I was having what was later called the widow maker. Dr. Smith was able to make me feel calm by asking me questions about my career and acted as though he was totally unaware of what I was talking about, only to find out that one of his degrees was in my field of work. He has truly saved my life on more than 3 occasions to say the least. He has been involved in my life for 20 years now. Thank you.
