Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Was in a hurry to get to next client, even stood up and held door open to make point. Not very empathetic. Also seemed to not be a fan of CT angiograms, even while admitting heart stress tests can miss stuff!

Dr. Meyer was my cardiologist for nearly a decade. When he retired unexpectedly, my file passed to Dr. Guerra, whom I'd never seen before. My initial consultation with Dr. Guerra was EXCELLENT. He was courteous, knew my history & carefully reviewed it with me. Good bedside manner, personable. I look forward to continuing with him as my cardiologist.

I first met Dr. Guerra because my 92 yr old friend had a heart attack. He put a stent in and she was fine. He was so kind to all of us that were waiting. He took time to answer all our questions. I became a patient of his about 3 years ago. His staff, especially his nurse Molly, go out of their way to help me. I had insurance issues and she handled appeals for me several times. I don’t have heart issues just blood pressure and cholesterol issues. He takes time for my problems and is so nice! I highly recommend him.

There is only one word to describe Dr. Guerra himself and that is EXCELLENT!!! The operation side of his practice will require three words NOT SO GOOD!!! They may be over booking, on my first visit I had to wait over 1 hour after appointment time to see the Dr. Guerro, and the second time was more than 30 minutes. The staff needs a pretty good dose of training, but their manners are not bad. To wind it up when it comes to my Ticker Dr. Guerro will be my repairman. One last observation you might have your housekeeping crew dust the tables in the waiting room, and might even run a mop across the floors.
