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.

Heads a world class TAVR team of top notch pros
Dr Stanten likes everything to be perfect for the procedure. I had suffered a fractured scapula a few weeks prior to the procedure and showed up with a skin rash from some medication I was taking. Thankfully, he said he would do it anyway and all went well. Fluid retention in my feet have disappeared, and I feel great. Thank you Dr. Stanten and team. Amazing to have a team this qualified in my home town.

Excellent and meticulous surgeon, saved my life. I had triple-bypass surgery on June 27th, and I'm healing remarkably well. Kudos to this man!

I am a surgeon who just had a heart attack, requiring a coronary artery bypass graft two days ago. Dr Stanten carefully explained all aspects, even though I am aware of them, to be sure I was fully informed. All members of his team visited me pre-op so that i would be familiar with them. Dr Stanten's team have all been great. I have had amazingly little pain and seem to be recovering at a fantastic rate. I can recommend Dr Stanten and his team without hesitation. Six stars if I could!
