Dr. Howard Frumin a cardiologist who specialty is electricity within the heart did a great work as my surgeon. Dr. Frumin spoke with me explaining to me with a diagram of the heart what he suspected the event that was taking place. He performed his own tests and used the information from my other physicians. To identify what was happening to my heart. He was patient and explained to me the choices in treatment options available for this condition. We discussed many of the concerns I had and he was able to provide the information to a non-medical trained person in a way which was dignified and thorough. He was informative and easy to speak with in his office and working with his staff. At the hospital all worked together in a focused effort to make sure I was comfortable. After all, it is my heart and that can really raise your anxiety level. Arriving the morning of the procedure Dr. Frumin and his team where so relaxed and yet very focused on my well being both the physical and the psychological. Each team member went about their tasks with care and compassion. Dr. Frumin checked with me, and I felt very well cared for and confident in his surgical skills. All went great.

After a lifetime of extraordinary good health, I suddenly found myself diagnosed with congestive heart failure. I lacked both the aptitude and the medical experience to grasp the complexities of my condition, its causes and impacts, the treatment choices and the medicines on which I will likely depend for the rest of my life. In this regard, I was truly fortunate to be referred into the care of Dr. Howard Frumin. Dr. Frumin has a gift for presenting complicated information in a manner that can be fully comprehended by the uninitiated, like me. When appropriate, he even illustrates his explanations to add to the patient's ability to understand. I trust Dr. Frumin to provide me with the honest, accurate, comprehensible information I need to do my share of attending to my illness.

Not as communicative as I'd like.
