Valley Medical Group - Cardiology, Ridgewood (VHG)

Dr. Bogush is a careless doctor and assigns assistants to examine you. The assistant put some kind of dector on my chest to record when I had any pain. However the doctor has adesive on the back which gave me a terrible rash. I've had it for 4 days and it does not seem to be going away. I would never go to that doctor again.

Dr. Bogush is the most inconsiderate doctor I have ever encountered. My family and I have gone through Valley Health system for all medical attention and/or specialists our entire lives, and have never had a negative experience with any doctors. Until Dr. Bogush. He gave us, by far, the worst patient treatment I have ever experienced with a doctor. When another cardiologist part of Valley Hospital provided an additional point of view for my loved one's health situation saying it was treatable, Dr. Bogush's response to their opinion was "oh he made that up" ... and that was the response he had about another Valley Hospital cardiologist in his same department! Dr. Bogush spoke only doomsday and never considered my loved one's feelings or questions. My loved one and I had gone to a wedding a couple days before the health incident happened and after staying overnight at the hospital and waiting to see Dr. Bogush the next morning, Dr. Bogush explained the situation and when he was done explaining, he said to my loved one, "so was the wedding worth it?" ??? This incident with my loved one was the first time it has ever occurred and we were as concerned as you can expect when dealing with an entirely new medical situation. I'm just trying to understand when on earth is it ever appropriate for a medical professional to make such a rude comment like that to a patient. Months later, during a follow up after additional studies and a monitor that showed everything was clear and healthy, Dr. Bogush STILL spoke to my loved one with such ego and disdain; stating "you still have friends after this?" And when my loved one responded "...yes? Still have friends.", Dr. Bogush's response was "that's a shocker, didn't know you can still have friends without that". Excuse me? How is that appropriate to say and how is this even relevant? I can go on and on and quote verbatim other inappropriate and frankly disrespectful comments Dr. Bogush spoke towards a patient. And while I am a firm believer that reviews/ratings should provide both the good and the bad, these 2 experiences with Dr. Bogush had nothing good about them. Will never seek out his medical opinion/advice ever again, and frankly will tell others to avoid him if looking for a cardiologist at Valley Hospital.

Dr. Bogush is an excellent doctor who is very knowledgeable and explains everything in detail! I'm lucky I found a caring cardiologist who is a great person.

Dr.Bogush is very forthcoming, easy to understand, kind and compassionate.
