Dr Zaku performed quadruple bypass open heart surgery on me on 10/23/23. The procedure was successful and he made me feel confident that I was in good hands every step of the way. I'm grateful, and so is my daughter, for his expertise with what he does. Thank you Dr Zaku!
Diagnosed with the need for open-heart surgery, well-meaning family and friends encouraged me to go to New York, Morristown or Hackensack. I spoke with my cardiologist who recommended I meet Dr. Bledi Zaku, Chief of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery at St. Joseph's, Paterson. My son and I met with Dr. Zaku and his staff and were immediately impressed. He answered all our questions, was compassionate and made me feel he would take good care of me. On the day of my surgery he spoke with my family and me and explained what he was going to do. After the surgery he met with my family again, gave them the successful surgery results and put them at ease. During my stay at St. Joe's, he or his staff visited every day, monitoring my care. I put my faith in the extraordinary hands of Dr. Zaku and will be forever grateful to him.
The best heart surgery doctor ever DR Zaku is so professional and his team are very good doctors Thank you so much for everything
A loved one was treated by Dr. Zaku and it was the worst decision they made. Dr.Zaku never had the decency to even call the patient's family when he was informed that there were complications. His arrogance and indifference are qualities no doctor should have.
Performed open heart surgery on my mother and forgot to come out to the family and let them know surgery was done, but apologized that he was exhausted and home on his couch. I have no words for that. Never received updates throughout the week and she passed a week later. Hopefully he wasn't too tired while performing the surgery
