Dr. Gary Howard Dworkin, MD

Jan 21st, 2008 Dr. Dworkin repaired my failing heart using the Divinci Minimally Invasive technology. My Regular Doctor told me at my recent exam, that my heart is in excellent condition and strong as a young man, I am 86. Before the operation I was in terrible condition with a badly malfunctioning mitral valve. Through the process of procedure evaluation I was placed in the care of Dr. Dworkin. He was candid about my condition as well as the procedure needed for possible correction. Dr. Dworkin chose the newly developing Divinci system rather than the traditional Open Heart method. His decision and the result have blessed my health every day since. The only evidence of the procedure is a small nearly invisible scar near my right armpit, placed in a natural skin fold. Because of Dr, Dworkin's exceptional abilities, decision making, evaluation and process I am a very healthy 86 year old who walks a couple miles every day, and has perfect blood pressure. This condition… is after I had terrible heart murmur, high blood pressure and health issues for years. Dr. Dworkin was beyond expectation as a caring physician. He is a gifted Doctor that you, if you are in need, will be fortunate to have chosen. I believe he is the epitome of medical science.

Knowledgeable & Personal Attention - Great Staff & Invironment

I have never written a bad review for anyone in my life but Dr Dworkin's office experience was the most absurd unprofessional encounter I have ever had. He has obviously been sued and lost as his "policy" is to not treat anyone related to a personal injury attorney unless it is an emergency. This I do not have an issue with as it is Dr. Dworkin's choice to decide who he wants to treat. His office must google your name and your emergency contact to figure out if you or your emergency contact are attorneys (can we say invasion of privacy?) What happened and What is NOT fine is to have a non attorney patient schedule an appointment, come into the office on their own time/day off, wait 20 minutes to have Dr. Dworkin come into the room and then tell you that they are not going to treat you as a matter of this "policy" which is a total waste of time, insulting and unprofessional. I should send Dr. Dworkin a bill for my time. I want to thank Dr. Dworkin for not seeing me as he is… rude and paranoid about being sued over a minor cosmetic procedure meaning he must be a terrible doctor.

This man performed an emergency surgery on my neck- not even his specialty. But he stepped in when I was in the ER and helped to save my life when other doctors were telling me they didn't want me as a liability. Even beyond that day he saw me in his office twice to help with follow-up issues. He is very knowledgeable and caring.
