Dr. Saito diagnosed me as having congestive heart failure. I was hesitant to get a pacemaker/defibrillator. He patiently explained why I should have one. He did a great job with my implant. He checked on me, while I was in the hospital (overnight). He was gentle and very caring. I am very happy with him as my cardiologist.

Dr Saito performed a heart procedure for me at CHOMP which was done well and saved my life. He is an excellent doctor, listens and explains, and is a truly gifted cardiologist. Thank you Dr. Saito for a job well done.

I met Dr Saito when I was brought into the emergency room. He explained my problem and answered any questions that we had. He implanted a pacemaker that day. He is a very caring Dr. and has a very good bedside manner, while being professional.
