I saw this Dr because he is an international leader in his field. The care he provided was exceptional. We discussed many approaches to my health issues and concerns. The appointment was long because he took the time to explain the reasoning behind his thought process, but at no time did I feel like he was rushing through the conversation. As a physician myself, my standards of care are very high. He exceeded them. Well done, MGH.

MGH Preventive Cardiology is the capstone of my medical care. Visionary leadership sustains an environment of multidisciplinary practice which is both personal and evidence based. Mostly though, their style makes me want to do more and be better. Truly inspirational.
