There is no better cardiac specialist then Dr. Robert Fishman / Heart Dr.
Just a short while ago I needed a Heart Specialist, I started going through the Website and discovered this name to myself I always check reviews. I made a appointment and I am so please with him and his staff he's a great Specialist sadly he's retiring, and I wish him and his family the very best. I trust his expertise and processualism greatly knowing he cannot replace but he is assuring that his choice for the next Specialist will be of the same services. Best Wishes!
Always gives good info and recommendations.
