Dr. Avendano has been my husband's cardiologist for many years and for the last couple of years I see him too. He is a really wonderful, caring doctor who truly takes the time to listen to you and he gets to know his patients personally. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a cardiologist. His support staff, since changing to Hackensack Meridian, is also great and easy to deal with! They too are very efficient.

Office staff always unpleasant and rude. If not for the admiration I have for Dr. Avendano, I would never visit this office again. If you can deal with the reception staff then I highly recommend this Dr!

My son was gravely ill when he became a patient of Dr. Avendano. He was always kind, gentle, caring and thorough. He treated my son with utter respect and dignity. I was so touched by the compassion he and his colleagues gave my son, so much so that I have been a patient of his group for more than 10 years. I recommend Dr. Avendano to everyone I know who needs a cardiologist. It is not often you find a physician who is truly empathetic and humble.
