Not much on hand holding or bedside manner but he did a great job on my by-pass. After 10 year check-up, his work is still perfect.

I don't care how skillful he is as a doctor. He takes his bad moods out on staff and patients alike. Shame on him, for his behavior as a doctor and a fellow man, and my empathy for all those who come in contact with him on one of his bad days.

I can't say how disappointed I am in him. Very egocentric. Blames the patient.

Ten years ago Dr. Aufiero performed bypass surgery on me ~ 4-vessel ~ and resected an aneurysm from my heart. He is an outstanding surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner. From the time he first saw me, I was impressed with his compassion and care to me and my family.
