Patient Satisfaction

How likely are you to recommend Dr. La Mendola?
Dr. Lamendola is an amazingly talented surgeon with a fabulous bedside manner. He explained each step of the surgical procedure with great detail and compassion. It’s not typical to find a well respected doctor with a kind persona. Dr. Lamendola is that doctor. My husband and I will be forever grateful to this gentleman for the life saving surgery that he performed. We are three weeks post surgery and the stitches are those of a plastic surgeon, the healing is almost a thin line. In addition, the office staff is top notch. The PA, Jen has a wonderful demeanor. She is highly knowledgeable and patient. Jen fielded many phone calls from us and always returned those calls quickly, taking her time answering each of our questions. I highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking cardiac surgery. A total pleasure to deal with each professional in this office.
