John Merlino, III III, DO

Dr. John Merlino and his staff have been providing excellent care for the past year. They are always very pleasant and patient. Dr. Merlino listens to your concerns and is always happy to answer any questions. Since my first appointment I've had many tests to thoroughly diagnose. Dr Kulpreet Barn was consulted, and it was determined that an ICD implant would be beneficial. Dr. Merlino performed the surgery, and it went great. I am so pleased with how the incision site looks - neat and smooth! Since the ICD implant, I am no longer short of breath and fatigued from doing basis activities, exercise, and working around the house. Although the damage to my heart will never be reversed, I am currently able to function and live my life with no limitations.

I was told I needed to get a heart monitor for 30 days so insurance would cover my loop monitor. I did not expect a bill for $670. Needless to say I'm not getting the loop monitor due to how much that will cost. Don't trust anything they say about insurance coverage.

If you're looking for a kind, compassionate and exceptionally skilled cardiologist, this is your doctor. My adult son is disabled and a bit difficult to work with and Dr. Merlino is the BEST. He's been seeing my son for many years. His office is well run! Wait time in minimal and the ladies are great too!

On Tuesday I had a cardiac event that landed me in the emergency room of Community Hospital that evening. On call was cardiologist Dr. John Merlino. My lucky day. Dr. Merlino rushed in to see me, quickly diagnosed the need for a pacemaker, understood my concerns and even talked to my Phila. cardiologist that same evening who assured me I had the right man for the job and I was exactly where I should be (Community and my nurse Margaret were great) The surgery went flawlessly with this mild mannered Doctor taking on complete control of his operating room as any field commander should. And his care did not stop there, calling the nursing station several times to make sure I was in good shape ( once at 1 am ). I am one lucky man and in the best shape of my life thanks to this great doctor.

The woman who answers their phones and schedules appointments is absolutely AWFUL. My grandmother has been coming here for YEARS. I called to book an appointment because she hadnt been in awhile and this woman keeps asking "Why?"..... because she hasnt been seen in over a year... "But why? What for?".... Her heart? Hes a cardiologist.... "But what for?".... Is this woman for real? This office needs to fire this woman. This is also the 2nd time i have had an issue with this office as far as asking a simple question. THIS OFFICE IS DISGUSTING. The doctors in this office need to let go of all these front desk people besides Stephanie. They are an ABSOLUTE DISGRACE. CINDY IS THE DISGRACES NAME. YOURE A MFN DISGRACE, CINDY. Cant wait until my appointment. CANT. WAIT.
