Dr. Thomas Lamattina, MD

I went to Dr. Lamattina after having a pacemaker installed in an emergency situation (for which my current cardiologist at the time was not available), since I was having continuing problems with discomfort and tightness. He identified the problem immediately as unrelated to the arrhythmia, suggested a solution, and performed the operation (installing a stent). This completely addressed the problem. He is patient, caring and conscientious, very willing to thoroughly explain his findings. Highly recommended.

I can verifie that Dr. LaMattinna is an excellent doctor. Under his care for many years at which point about six years ago he discovered by my Emergency X rays taken that I was due for a serious heart condition. He sent me emmediately by Ambulance to Brighton's Saint Elizabeths Hospital for triple by-pass surgery. So now I am with permanent cardiavascular disease but my life is normal and I have never again had any heart pain or chest pain. Also I am with my third Cardiac pacmaker and am doing great working out doors all the time. At the age of 88 I have no complaints about this doctor. He is great. I get check ups now every six months andhave no complaints.

My mother was under the care of this doctor for atrial fibrillation. She was diagnosed years ago and told to contact him if she experienced anything "abnormal". The prescription she started on was renewed year after year without any check in required from the doctor, meanwhile, my mom didn't know what qualified as "abnormal" so had not contacted the doctor about the a-fib episodes she experienced. Due to this negligence, my mom suffered a severe stroke. I would not recommend this doctor.

After waiting for an hour, I complained to the receptionist. The staff treated me like I was the one being unprofessional and inconsiderate. I left and made an appointment with another doctor.
