Russell Berchman Stapleton III

I desired a cardiologist who would be decisive. After a whirlwind of tests and appointments, I was hospitalized to follow up on recent chest discomfort. Dr Stapleton walks in and said “hello” we’re going for a catheterization to find out what’s going on. The outcome led to bypass surgery instead of stints. Every step of the way, I received the best care from Dr. Stapleton and his staff. I never once felt like just a number. He is always interested in my concerns and questions, never ending an appointment until i have received an answer. One year later He is still MY cardiologist!

I have been under his care for many years. He is caring doctor.

Dr. Stapleton saved my life. I went to his office for a check up because I was having chest pain with tightness in my chest. He had me show up the next morning for a check up at the heart cath lab. While performing the procedure he found out that I had a 95% blockage of my main artery.. Dr. Stapleton saved my life. I would highly recommend this dr.

Easy to talk too. Listens to patient and caregiver. Welcomes questions, answers in a way that you understand, Highly recommend him to everyone.

Dr Stapleton is very easy to talk with and is willing to address any and all questions I have had. Not to mention, a great staff.

Dr. Stapleton has always been very thorough in his evaluations of my heart conditions and can explain everything to me in easy to understand terms. I can always tell that he genuinely cares about me. He has performed numerous procedures on me including stent implantations and I am always confident that he is employing the very best procedures to improve my conditions. In addition to my great confidence in his abilities, I like Dr. Stapleton as a regular person.

Very first appointment because previous x-ray results stated mild Static Thoracic Aorta. Dr. Stapleton made a remark I don't know what that is and referred me for further tests like stress test. Heart murmur was written on orders for further tests. ?

Iâ??ve had recurrent pericarditis for just over a year now. I am very young and was previously healthy so this came out of nowhere. I first encountered Dr. Stapleton when hospitalized and have had the pleasure of being able to follow-up with him ever since. Since my condition is idiopathic and recurrent it is not easy to treat and has been quite troublesome for me. Dr. Stapleton has not just been treating me but has also gone above and beyond at every step in efforts to reach a resolution. He hasnâ??t just prescribed medication and sent me on my way, but continues to actively research and look for new ideas specific to my individual condition. He has always been caring and knowledgeable, continuously looking out for my best health interest. I have seen many other cardiologists while in and out of the hospital but none make me feel like Iâ??m important and cared for as Dr. Stapleton does. Follow-up appointments are just as pleasurable with both him and his PA Tina, who is incredible. He… makes it known that I can reach him at any time when I need help and, unlike other doctors, he actually answers or calls back almost immediately. He continues to impress me with his level of concern, for which I cannot be more thankful. I would highly recommend and trust him to anyone in need of a cardiologist.

Dr. Stapleton has put 9 stents in my heart and I have had not problems. I can do whatever I want. He is plain spoken and uses words that you can understand. I have 2 sons that are also patients of his and they also trust him 100%.

Very informative. Takes time to listen and does not make you feel rushed. Always listens to your concerns and makes helpful suggestions .
