Dr. Salvatore J. Tirrito, MD

Pretty sad when the representative for the pacemaker, who does the pacer checks, asks more questions on how your doing than the dr. does. 45 minutes waiting for a less than 2 minutes with the dr. " readings look good, 6 yrs left on the pacemaker, see you in 3 months." I told him I've had a lot of congestion, throat clearing, he said to check with my primary about medication. Desk clerk said they've been double booked all month and to go 4 months out for my next appointment because it's just as bad for the next 3rd month. Who ever does the scheduling better figure it out.

I went with my husband to an appointment today and although he ordered a bunch of tests he rushed in and rushed out. We felt as though he had somewhere better to be. Wasn't even in the room for 5 minutes. Very disappointing after seeing his reviews on the website.

The receiving staff is very efficient and fast. They really keep things moving. Dr Toritto is a pleasure to talk to as we have similar interests and activities in common. Horses, piloting aircraft, traveling. He has monitored my heart problems perfectly.

As I write this and read other reviews, I see there are some that have had similar experiences. My first visit with Dr. Tirrito lasted less than one minute! Second visit after my stress test was a few minutes longer as he had to show me the results. Both times he was very impersonal and seemed to be in a hurry. My third visit was a PET scan after which I was told the doctor would call me with the results the following week. Three weeks later I still had not received any call from the doctor so I contacted the office. I was told he and his assistant were in clinic and he would call me back. He never did. I waited another week and finally called AGAIN at which point his assistant told me the results of the test. I was given no explanation as to why I'd not been contacted with the results. I expressed my displeasure with how I've been treated and asked to speak to whoever managed that clinic. I was told they would give me a call. Right! They never did. Would definitely not recommend Dr. Tirrito!

Have seen him twice, he spent about 5 minutes first appointment. Second appointment he went over results which looked good. Told me elderly are over medicated, never went over 4 pills I take. My daughter was with me she and I got a good laugh. He spent maybe 10 minutes with me. He said if you need me you know where I am at. I am doing treatment for cancer, will change doctor if I am referred to another heart doctor.
