I was in hospital 49 days following a 3 bypass operation. Dr. Verdesca was at the hospital to meet me each time I was admitted (4). He examined me EVERY day I was at Morristown Memorial. I was there a total of 49 days. He expertise, knowledge and care was amazing.

I returned to Dr. Verdesca for a recommended heart check up as I was professionally treated by him 12 years ago in a local ER. He is a very knowledgeable, caring cardiologist who actively listens to his patient & explains issues well. He has a very calm demeanor which is reassuring to heart patients. He also asks you if his staff is treating you well while you are there for testing. His team is very professional and caring as well. He also reviewed the results of every heart test I had taken and had his staff call you with the results later that same afternoon. This is very much appreciated! I highly recommend Dr. Verdesca to everyone.

Well, ....... Dr. Verdesca has kept me alive for the past 12 years; so I have no complaints! (At times it hasn't been easy; but he's a terrific cardiologist. I owe a lot to Drs. Verdesca and Santiago!)

I've been a heart patient for more than 12 years, now. As far as I'm concerned, Dr. Verdesca is one of the best cardiologists in New Jersey! I'm glad I found him; his medical experience and acumen have been a great help to me.

Dr. Verdesca stands out among a multitude of doctors who cared for my elderly parent. It is he who was the "favorite" from day one until her recent passing, when his kindness didn't stop. He was the only of her many physicians who sent a sympathy card. My mom was cared for by a live-in aide who also always had rave reviews for Dr. Verdesca. After each visit both Mom and her aide always said, "We really like Dr. Verdesca. He is our favorite". That went a long way with me and them since her final years were difficult and it seems her only outings were to Dr. appointments.
