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!

I have been seeing Dr. Givertz for a long time and he's always been very thorough and very caring of his time and answering my questions and helping me get to the bottom of things. And I really like him as a cardiologist and head of my heart failure specialty. And [redacted] is great too. So when he's busy and I see her, she's also very good and very thorough. And she even found something that I had, which was low iron. So they both are helpful and qualified and keep me up on the road working properly. That's it.
