My husband came into the hospital with a full blown heart attack going on. They rushed him into a catheterization lab. He had three arteries blocked at 100%. The widow maker he called it. He told us my husband was extremely lucky to be alive. He had a great bedside manner and answered our questions, as we had many. I would highly recommend Dr. Bittl.

I had a heart Cath last week by Dr. Bittl and found him to be friendly, professional and put me at ease. I had reason to call tonight about a possible post-problem and he promptly returned my call and gave me instructions on how to handle it. Great and amazing doctor!

Dr Bittle was such a calming person. I was so scared when I was told of my cath results and needed open heart. Dr. Bittle took so much time with me to explain to me and my family.

Excellent experience. Dr. took the time to explain everything both before and after catheterization. Answered all questions. All in all experience could not have been better. Doctor's manner and information sharing removed all doubts regarding current cardiac status and continuing treatment recommendations.
