My feed back was listed previously. It was the first time I had seen Dr. Piacentine and he more than met my hope for my7 new cardiologist. He took time to get to know me and listened when I talked. He came highly recommended by my previous cardiologist and also others of his patients that are my friends. They raved about him. My first impression is that I agree. I am very glad to have him accept me as one of his patients.
