My cardiologist of 12 yrs was leaving Boston and I was very concerned about who would take my case. I knew of Dr Givertz and was elated when I was assigned to him !! This was my 1st visit and I was pleased with his knowledge & understanding of my medical history - very reassuring !! He spent almost an hr. discussing my symptoms and possible treatments. I was fortunate to have Dr [redacted] in the past, but I am very confident that Dr. Givertz will provide the best possible care and treatment that I need.

Dr. Givertz has an amazing "bedside" manner. In our first visit he spent over 90 minutes with me reviewing my health conditions and his plan for my treatment. My follow-up care with Joanne Weintraub has also been excellent. She suggested a cardiac rehab program and MGH Brigham that was very helpful to me. This most recent visit with Dr. Givertz was also a great experience. He was extremely attentive, thorough, and understanding. He demonstrates genuine care for me. Phil Brown in the lab, who has drawn my blood on several occasions now, is also a joy to work with. You have an excellent staff and a great operation!
