Dr. Heitner was condescending and dismissive. The medical advice including; having 3 occluded arteries only increases risk for heart attack but does not increase the risk / complications for stroke. The information provided by Dr. Heitner is inconsistent with facts.

Setting up my last appointment took 3 calls and 20 minute wait. Dr leaves me waiting for 2 hours EVERY time I see him. He'll say he had an emergency yet I see him in his office taking his time eating lunch. Has never resolved my issue. Does not follow up personally. Has his staff do it. He'll see me briefly then have his associate finish up the appointment. I find his personality arrogant.

I am so thankful for my visit to Dr Heitner. Dr Heitner is the best diagnotician/cardiologist in the New York area. His diagnostic acumen is an absolute â??life saverâ??. He is caring and extremely well trained! I would absolutely recommend him without any hesitation to anyone who is in need of superior medical care.

Some years ago my husband had a heart attack. i asked the ambulance to take him to Methodist Hospital. By God's grace Dr.Heitner was the Cardiologist on call. He saved my husband's life. I thank God for him and ask His blessings over him. Awesome, intelligent and handsome. WOW!
