I have to admit that I'm a bit biased regarding this doc as I am likely still alive today because…read moreof him and my primary care physician. He has managed my CHF and performed the catherization and stent placements after I suffered an MI 21 months ago. Clearly, since I'm here to write this review, he did the right things. In my case I was fairly impressed with our first encounter. I had actually stopped by his office a couple of days prior to my first appointment to pick up those forms all docs make new patients fill out and was standing at the reception desk when he came out for something. I must have looked pretty bad at that point as he took one look at me, ask why I was there and when I said I was just there to pick up some forms he was like "I don't think so." Next thing I knew I was in an exam room hooked up to an EKG and after that in the hospital. I would hope most docs were that competent but alas, I know that to not be true. After a 30 year career in EMS and 20 some years of dealing with diabetes, suffice to say I have had a LOT of dealings with doctors over the years. Thankfully this is one of the good ones. He is fairly direct and to the point but still manages a friendly air, and if you do not understand something or ask a question he will take whatever time is needed to answer your question and do so without falling into the trap of talking down to his patients and do so without giving you the impression that he would rather be doing almost anything else but answering said questions. And perhaps most importantly, I have never gotten the impression that he was just trying to get out of the room and on to the next patient in the medical assembly line, as can be the case in some practices. I have found his office staff to be pleasant and helpful and easy to deal with when it comes to scheduling appointments and honest about when there will be delays. If I had to come up with a negative I would have to say that a couple of times there have been rather long waits in his office but I would have to say that is the exception rather than the rule as it has happened only twice since I became a patient of his. Most of the time I'm in a room within about 10 or 15 minutes of an appointment time. I have also had a couple of tests (an echocardigram and venous doppler) done in his office and on both occasion I found the technicians to be courteous, accommodating and competent. Clearly, if anyone is in need of the services of a cardiologist in the South Bergen/Passaic County area, I would highly recommend Dr. Szwed.

I paid 165.00 to have Dr. Frank Evans, Jr. a Cadiologist in North Arlington, NJ. Ask my wife a…read morecouple of questions and that's it. My wife complained of serious chest pains and an EKG was hooked up on her. Dr. Evans stated it might be stress related. How in the world he determined that baffles me. He didn't even examine her swollen legs and feet. How incompetent can you be. He suggested my wife take a stress test at $85 and $150.00 for the second consultation to determine the test results. Waste of time and money on this Junior Doctor. Let's not forget his bedside manners. Didn't want to answer questions and seemed annoyed. Literally didn't know how to examine a patient with chest pains. Nor answer questions. I paid cash and regret not using my card to cancel my payment on this bogus Doctor claiming to be a cardiologist. Lesson learned.
