Dr. James M. Kirshenbaum, MD

Cardiologist Dr. Kirschenbaum is exceptional. The entire staff is a virtually. seamless cardiac team......... My Dr. was at a conference, so he looked at my EKG and phoned to recommend I come to the Hospital.So, on arrival Dr. Kirschenbaum and team leaped in saying, "Don't worry, you'll be fine. We can't let your primary Cardiologist down!" All staff were focused on saying my life. In fact. A MI is certainly the worst of times. Yet, his team's care felt like the best of times! THE BEST!

Incredible man. Saved my life by finding an issue that had gone previously undetected by multiple doctors even after surgery

During this pandemic, trying to schedule medical care has been a complete disaster. I wanted to change cardiologists because I did not feel fully confident in the one I had been seeing, so I Googled "cardiovascular group Boston" because I live in rural CT and wanted better care. Although it took several weeks to get in, it was well worth the wait. I arrives 10 minutes before my appointment time, and was brought in within 5 minutes- zero wait time! The nurse came in to discuss my meds, take my vitals and run an ECG. She left and said the doctor will be in shortly. He came in within 5 minutes. He sat down, we talked about my history, my symptoms. Noting my vocabulary, he said "you are more articulate about this than most" and when he learned that I'm a biology professor, spoke clearly about his preferred plan of action for me. I have no doubt that he is equally adept at communicating with a 10 year old child as he is with a biology professor. Anyway, he laid out the entire plan, and then I went to check out, got my blood work done right there, and was out the door in exactly one hour! I was amazed by the professionalism, efficiency, and kindness exhibited by the entire staff I interacted with.
