James L. Schulgit, MD

Dr Schulgit is a wonderful cardiologist who saved my husbands life. His staff is so polite and pleasant. They deserved the cookies I baked them.

Doctor Schulgit was my assigned cardiologist a few years ago. I've requested him everytime since. He provides the treatment and tests that you need. You won't be sold an artificial heart, for example, when medication will work. As other reviewers noticed, he has a good bedside and procedure room manner. The "two pokes" won't surprise you. Keep him in the follow-up loop, too. If your Primary wants blood work, see if a copy of the results can also go to his office. Important point for St. Luke's hospital cardiac patients: use your Primary and Doctor Schulgit as auditors. They can evaluate and clarify what the cardiac specialists (As they say: the electricians and plumbers) want to do. Don't let billing for high overhead override your actual needs.

Dr. Schulgit is exceptional in his knowledge and caring and compassion toward his patients. I have worked with many doctors over the past thirty years and he is one of the very best cardiologists in the greater metro area.

I've been seeing this wonderful cardiologist since 2011. He saved my life. I dread the day he retires.

If there were 10 stars I would give Dr. Schulgit all 10. I have told everyone that would listen, that my heart doctor found my cancer. I want to give him a hug for finding it early, and suggesting to me to have it checked out. Thank you Dr. Schulgit.
