    I was assigned to Dr Revkin well over a year ago to evaluate me and any/all cardiac issues I was dealing with. Instantly we hit it off and Dr Revkin has not only become my Cardiologist and a trusted member of my care team - but a valued friend! He always is prepared coming in to our appointments, has reviewed and is prepared to discuss my backstory and spends more than enough time with me reviewing our plan moving forward to keep me at my best.

    I greatly appreciate the doctor reviewing my records prior to my appointment time. This clearly helped the flow of our conversation. I liked the research documents he provided in regards to my condition.

  • Reviewed on 12/20/2025

    Dr Revkin was knowledgeable and nice. However, he did not ask me about my diet or physical activity before lecturing me about healthy habits which was very presumptive. He did take notes when I offered that information voluntarily, but it is not helpful to be told how to eat and exercise by someone who knows nothing about your lifestyle. Especially when it is the same generic advice that we are bombarded with ad nauseam.

    I had a thoughtful Patient Gateway communication the week before my visit. I felt prepared and informed for my visit. The doctor was friendly and and attentive to me and to my husband. I asked questions and received thoughtful responses with data driven explanations. When a new medication was prescribed the doctor took the time to share how the medication will work in my body. I was shown statistics on the side effects. The appointment made me feel prepared to face and to control my health conditions. I believe I can connect with the doctor and his office with any questions and concerns.

    He was outstanding. I enjoyed his company. He explained things in a manner that was very understandable and he was totally engaged. I walked away raving to my wife what a very positive experience it was and I would recommend him highly to anyone. And then he was very responsive after the fact, you know, doing a summary of what transpired at the appointment. So on a scale from one to ten, I wish I could give him a number higher than a ten.

    He truly listened to me and he took me very seriously with my concerns about my care or lack there of by my primary care team.

    This was the first time I was seen by Dr. Revkin and he was outstanding. He took the time to thoroughly understand my medical history and all of my concerns. He gave careful thought to changes in my medications and explained his reasoning in a clear and understandable way. He discussed my diet and gave me recommendations to improve it.

    Dr Revkin is very kind, compassionate, caring, knowledgeable and highly-experienced. He always respectfully listens to me; always takes my perspective into account, but would also be firm in his medical preferences and would always explain why. I enjoy meeting with him, and discussing my coronary healthcare needs with him. I always prefer to approach my heart health through diet and exercise, and am hesitant to be on medications. He respects this, but will also often advocate on behalf of a more pharmaceutical approach. I am at times mistrustful of the pharmaceutical industry. He understands my informed opinions, but will also be firm in his guidance when needed. I respect and appreciate Dr Revkin immensely.

    Hello, [redacted] Dr. Revkin was truly remarkable. And what qualifies me is I have unfortunately seen a tremendous amount of doctors in the last six years for all kinds of things. So I know what a good doctor is. He's an old school [redacted] so that means he's wonderful, asks questions, takes necessary time, really over and above, to be honest with you. Extremely competent, extremely thorough, very intelligent, so he knew where to put all the eggs and where not to worry. Some of the answers with him he didn't have yet, and he told me so. [redacted]

    This was my first visit with Dr. Revkin. He did an excellent job of establishing a doctor-patient relationship with me: Made a point of getting to know me and letting me get to know him; had thoroughly reviewed my medical history; spent an hour with me; gave advice for the issue for which I was referred in the context of my related health issues; showed me where to research prescriptions; sent my PCP and me a thorough post-exam letter; arranged for ongoing follow-up with me, including uploads of BP measurements, an appointment next year, and an invitation to contact him before that.
