Valley Medical Group - Cardiology, Wayne

"After reading the 2 other reviews I feel compelled to give my review. I am a patient of Dr. Brown. I have known the four main doctors in the practice (Julie, Teicher, Brown and Skolnick) professionally since 1985 and as a patient since 1998. I am a Respiratory Therapist and in my time worked at hospitals, large and small. All 4 of these doctors are excellent and usually a joy to work with. I say "usually" because these doctors will not tolerate sub-standard care of their patients. I owe my life to Dr. Brown, he listened to the physical issues I was having and believed me when other doctors acted as if I was being "hysterical and over dramatic" (actual words said to me by another "doctor"!). Dr. Brown has been an incredible advocate for me. Anyone who asks me to recommend a Cardiologist that I trust I send them to his group. It is unfortunate that the people leaving these reviews didn't get the chance to have Dr. Julie help them, I have always found Dr. Julie to be knowledgeable, open, and caring."

"Attitude comes from the top down so it really makes me wonder about the level of care at this facility. I had the displeasure of attempting to change an appointment for Echo at the Wayne facility. The rudeness and hostility from the person to whom I spoke tells me all I need to know about the quality of care at VMG - Cardiology. Despite being given a new date and time from the nasty person on the phone, the appointment wasn't changed in their system until after several days and phone calls with different people. Why a simple change had to be so difficult is beyond me."
