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 Hillsley, exceptional cardiologist
Dr. Hillsley actually cares about me-all his patients. He gives us all the time needed and answers all questions. He is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We are more than cardio patients; we are people he is concerned about. I recommended him highly to several people.

Patient
Dr. Hillsley deserves recognition for his awesome combination of technical skills and compassion that has disappeared from most of today’s medical professionals. Dr. Hillsley collaborates with his team members to deliver patient care. His efforts are sincere. I would be remiss at not recognizing the contributions of Julie Zinski, RN, his technical assistant. Kudos to Dr. Hillsley !and Julie!!

Wonderful Doctor!!
Dr. Hillsley is thorough, attentive and extremely knowledgeable of my condition. I’ve been seeing him for years, and will do so (even though I live in another State), until he retires. I highly recommend him.

Dr Hillsley is an outstanding cardiologist who takes the time to talk to each patient and explain what is going on and the process to the correct treatment. I have been a patient of his for 12 years and I would not want to see another cardiologist.

Dr. Hillsley had been my Cardiologist for several years and this visit like previous visits was excellent. He knows and understands cardiology, keeps up to date, explains my condition and treatment. He is always willing to listen to my concerns and discuss them. He will continue to be my Cardiologist.

Dr. Hillsley has become my primary heart doctor. He takes time to discuss all procedures/treatments throughly. He is forthright with pluses as well as any negatives. He has Helped me to get a handle on my Afib and other concerns with final decisions up to me. I’m very comfortable with his expertise and happy that he will recommend another specialist if he feels it is necessary. The office staff are all very pleasant and efficient. You will feel comfortable when you have an appointment.

Arriving at Saint Agnes on June 2nd, I felt no anxiety. I knew Dr. Hillsley from a previous surgery and I knew he would take care of me. He entered my cubicle with a smile on his face and a soft, reassuring voice. After his introduction, he explained my procedure to me. He explained who the team was that would be assisting him in my surgery. Dr. Hillsley is a GREAT doctor. I would recommend him to anyone I know with a cardiac issue and to people who may know others with cardiac issues especially if they are a family member. Dr. Hillsley, the surgical team who assisted in my surgery and the nurses who prepped me for my surgery are professional, caring, kind and attentive to their patients, namely me. Right now I'm sitting here smiling as I think about my new Defibrillator. Thank you Dr Hillsley. You are a great surgeon. YOU ARE GREAT AT WHAT YOU DO. Thank you Saint Agnes for hiring a great group of staff members. They are the HEART OF THE COMMUNITY. Sincerely, Sherry Rucker
