Patient Reviews
Nov 30, 2019
He has treated me for years for 3rd stage kidney disease. He has helped me to keep it from getting any worse that it was when I was first referred to him. During the course of one visit, he noted my low pulse rate and questioned me about it. When I told him that I had noticed it during recent visits to a couple of other doctors, he encouraged me to check into it. As a result, my PCP referred me to an electro-cardiologist, who diagnosed bradycardia and recommended a pacemaker. I have felt better ever since the procedure, and thank Dr. DeGaetano for noticing the problem at just about every visit to his office. Great doctor.
