Patient Reviews
Dec 12, 2023
We had moved here from Southern California where we are used to having excellent physicians. I was very concerned about our medical care here as we have heard from people who live here that it’s not great. We were pleasantly surprised to find Dr. Ameika. I have been in the medical field most all of my life and I know an excellent doctor when I find one. Dr. Ameika is an excellent doctor. He has practiced for many years and with that comes excellent experience. He is very thorough, up to date on all cardiovascular treatments and he has an excellent bedside manner. I highly recommend him if you need to find a cardiologist on the island.
