Doctor Schussheim is the best! Thank you Doctor for your guidance and care these past seventeen years.
Suberb doctor…incredibly thorough, precise, great bedside manner. Dr. Schussheim is the real deal for anything cardiovascular.
Dr. Schussheim is so smart. He saved me from an unneeded surgery and found a simple solution for another problem. I am still alive because of his good care.
Gentle, kind and answer my questions.
Very efficient and knowledgeable. Quick yearly appointment with acceptance of recommendation.
Best !
Dr. Schussheim seemed quite rushed at my last appointment and did not give me as much attention as I was used to getting from him
Great experience with Dr. Schussheim. He listened to my concerns, asked great questions and clearly laid out the next steps.
Outstanding
Short wait, personal attention, takes time to explain, instruction clear. Highly recommended.
