Dr jost has been NY cardiologist for 28 years. I trust him and think he is the nicest and most knowledgeable cardiologist I have ever had he is patient and kind he is knowledgeable in his profession. I feel safe with him. I respect him. With all my heart
very good doctor
This Cardiologist practice has exceeded my expectations in every aspect of care. Every person, Doctor, Technician, and office staff give outstanding service to patients. When I first met Dr Jost, he explained the need to have current and updated testing done through their office. He took the time to answer all my questions. I received scheduling phone calls and appointments in a quick and timely manner, so they are able to start treatment. They get things done! Minimal waiting, which I appreciate. I met with Dr Minaskeian on my second visit. He is a wonderful Doctor, as well. I feel grateful for the excellent care I receive. Many thanks to them, truly.
Dr Jost is always so friendly and he really cares. Very knowledgeable 😀
Hard to understand. Is there a website to read what was discussed at the time?
All the employees are very kind and helpful
Dr. Jost is great, his office is always running on time and he is prompt so you don’t sit around waiting. He is always to the point and makes sure I am well taken care of!
Very good.
