Michael P. Savage, MD

Dr. Savage has performed two cardiac caths on me in the past 13 months. He is very thorough, very caring, and extremely courteous and efficient in performing this procedure? I rate him 5 stars in his profession! Nurses, staff, etc. were very caring and efficient! Mike Galbavy, Forked River, NJ

Five years ago, my dad (who was over 70 y.o.) and I have been searching for a good cardiologist, who was specializing in angioplasty. A cardiologist my dad had been seeing told him that he needed a stent placed in one of the major blood vessels. This doctor even attempted to perform a cardiac catheterization (stenting), but was unsuccessful, saying it was impossible... I did an extensive research and found Dr. Savage, who was a director of angioplasty center at Jefferson hospital. I immediately made an appointment with him for my dad. After a battery of blood tests, different ECG-s and stress test, Dr. Savage confirmed the diagnosis and scheduled the cardiac catheterization procedure. The procedure lasted for a few hours, which resulted in successful placement of a stent where it was needed. A big thanks goes to Dr. Savage's staff who were simply wonderful! My dad stayed in the hospital overnight for observation and the next day we took him home. The recovery period lasted for… a week. The stenting helped my dad with an overall well-being, as he was able to walk longer distances without being drained, as well as with continuing being active (he took up a swimming). A few years later, my dad needed another angioplasty done on a different vessel, which was done by Dr. Savage. My dad continues going to Dr. Savage for his bi-annual visits, to make sure that his heart is taken care of. So, if you are looking for a great cardiologist, specializing in a cardiac catheterization (stenting), I would highly recommend Dr. Savage to you.
