I have been a patient of Dr Bonow for approximately 20 yrs. and the care and concern he had given to me is exemplary! He gives every patient adequate time and then some answering all questions. His staff is extremely pleasant and efficient. Only the brightest and the best of Fellows and medical students are privileged to train under him During my recent cardiac surgery he visited me daily in the hospital responding immediately to my setbacks and recovery problems. I am blessed and grateful to be under his care for my well being throughout the many years and now during my cardiac surgery recovery

I met Dr. Bonow after I switched Cardiologists. He is by far one of the best doctors I have seen in a long time. He spent a ton of time with me, answered all of my questions, and told me he would do everything in his abilities to make my life what I wanted it to be. He is supportive, collaborative, and so incredibly kind! Best Cardiologist at BCVI that I have seen!

I saw Dr. Bonow for the first time today as a new patient, in hopes of a valid 2nd opinion. While he pretty much concurred with everything my my original cardiologist has stated, he offered some alternative options which I am going try. He was remarkable caring, considerate and truly kind. He answered all my questions and took his time with us while discussing everything about my current condition. Extremely knowledgable and very informative. While I will continue to see my original doctor, MD. Bonow has made it extremely difficult to do otherwise. A truly remarkable doctor and an extremely compassionate man. Thank you Dr. Bonow
