Always personable and explains thingss well.
Talks very fast. Just reads computer screen. Talks over patient. Makes a statement but doesn’t explain what he’s saying. He was in and out of room in 5 minutes. Tells patient not to write anything down that he is
Great, feel lucky for to be a patient of heart care center
Always good to me
Sharp mind-great respect for him
Dr. Macaluso is the best; he’s my doctor and my friend, having saved my wife’s life at least 3 times! He LISTENS and he CARES!
So professional and such an expert I love having him in charge of my heart care.
He does know his “stuff” but we feel that he’s pushing us in a direction that we are not comfortable rushing into.
Helpful. I received a favorable report.
Great Dr,
