Dr Ribeiro has been my cardiologist for many years. I find him to be professional and kind. He always answer my questions and makes sure I understand the answers. He is straight forward which I find very helpful. I absolutely would not trade my cardiologist or his staff. They are wonderful.

What I like best about Dr. Ribeiro is that he listens to my questions and gives me answers. I also feel that he gives me a thorough examination. He truly listens to my heart and not just a cursory quick listen. He truly seems intrested in how my health is going

Dr. Ribeiro was very personable and informative. His staff is very curteous and helpful. I was able to move up my blood test appointment(didn't want to fast all day) with out any problems. First time in a while my blood was drawn without leaving a bruise from someone digging. Quick,one stick, and painless. Kevin was so very helpful in moving all my test up so I didn't have to return later. My visit seemed to move effortlessly from one test to the next like a well oiled machine. Kevin was great, he made me feel like a celebrity as he guided me to my tests and Tiffany made me feel at ease while I under went my first stress test.
