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 Deninio was very confident and did not seem overwhelmed by the surgery that he would conduct for me. A surgery which was rather complicated. It is three months later now and and I'm doing much better. My chest wound (open heart surgery) is hardly noticeable and I'm very greatly to have met Dr. Denino.

Valve replacement
Recommended valve replacement for my 84 yr old father. My father died in the hospital never got to come home. My father fell out of bed when supposedly was on 24 hr watch, he contracted infection and died. Never addressed high white cell blood counts and overdosed him on medications leading to serious delirium. Was valve replacement a good decision? Obviously no. Think twice about using Dr. Denino.

Recommended valve replacement for 84 yr old father. My father never made it out of the hospital and died. Dr. Denino provided little to nonexistent care post after surgery. My father never came home. Was the surgery necessary? Obviously no!

Dr DeNino treated my husband for a difficult repeat Aortic Valve replacement procedure while we were on vacation in Maine. The entire staff was incredibly attentive and helpful. Could not have asked for better care. Best Dr ever! Thank you Dr. DeNino.

This doctor and his team of professionals are kind, courteous and knowledgeable. Every time I spoke with one of the team, they took the time to make sure I understood what was happening and asked if I had questions. Replacement of aortic valve went well and I expect to be feeling well in no time.
