Thomas G Benvenuti's Online Review Report Card

My mother has been under the care of doctor Thomas Benvenuti for the last 21 years. He is the most knowledgeable, friendly, professional and tolerant doctor I have met in all these years. My mother has congenital heart issues and doctor Benvenuti has patiently listened to all of her concerns for the past 21 years. He has helped her recover and avoid major heart issues. My whole family and I believe that if it were not for doctor Tom Benvenuti, my mother would not be with us today. He has single-handedly saved her life and enhanced her quality of life. I and our family are grateful for his incredible attention and focus on her health. I personally would like to thank the great staff and this amazing doctor. One should be lucky to find such care and attention from their amazing staff and incredible doctor Tom Benvenuti. We are forever grateful to doctor Tom and his staff. Rostai family Tom Rostai

Dr. Benvenuti is a gifted and compassionate physician, a true healer. I am very fortunate to be in his care.

My husband was referred to Dr Benvenuti for Congestive heart failure. It took a month to get an echocardiogram in his office and when the results came in, he told my husband nothing could be done for him and that he will probably die soon so he should just go home. He said they aren’t doing any surgeries due to COVID anyway. He told my husband that he was tired of having to pick up the pieces of people who obviously don’t take care of themselves for years. I will be filing an official complaint with the board.

Ranks as well as the best of the 3 cardiologists I've seen over the last 14 years. Very responsive, knowledgeable. Willing to spend time required to fully discuss the situation & various other associated heart issues.

His office staff couldn't possibly be any more incompetent. I have had to deal with three of them and I swear, they must have them take "STUPID TESTS" to make sure they get the dumbest of the dumb. I have had to go through extreme frustration for three years now simply trying to get a renewal of an extremely expensive prescription (Repatha @ $1,400.00/month) which is covered by Amgen Safety Net Foundation. The office people responsible for getting this approved are so irresponsible and stupid---and, they lie so much they cannot keep their lies straight.

Good Dr. staff couldn’t be worse.

I can not say enough good things about my Dr. Thomas Benvenuti , and his staff. I have been under his care for over 6 years. Thank you Premier Cardiology!

Excellent cardiologist

Terrible experience. He was my fathers Doctor, long story short, my father died 4 years ago under Benvenutis care. Now obviously this was not the doctors fault that my father died, but nonetheless, he was a patient there for years and the doctor basically wrote my father off... He didn't have stellar health insurance, so he wasn't going to make much money there, my father was in his sixties, so he was, in the doctors eyes at the end of his time here anyway, and he just didn't really do much more than the bare minimum to keep my father alive. My fathers last week was spent on life support at Hoag hospital, which is where I personally got to interact with this man... Horrible! There was nothing about him that was compassionate or informative. He does just enough. Well, when a family is in the position that we were in, Benvenuti could've stepped up to the plate and really been helpful In the whole process, being in the ICU, but no, he didn't answer our calls, his staff at his office is horrible, he was so nonchalant over his patient dying that I have nothing positive or pleasant to say about the man.

I am disappointed by the service I have received by the office staff of Dr. Thomas Benvenuti. I contacted them in November and explained that it was important to me that I be seen by the doctor and have any expensive tests performed before Dec.31 2015. I have actually paid my deductible this year and this will seriously lower my medical costs by $500The doctor saw me on Dec 3 and the office staff made my appointment for Dec 28 for the first expensive test. I expressed that this was of great concern to me because it was dangerously close to Dec 31 -- with no room for error, but they didn't care. On the day of the appointment, they called to say the technician was sick. What, is this the only technician in Orange County that can perform this test? They then wanted to re-schedule for the first of the year even though that is going to cost me the full dollar value of the test.I cannot justify seeing a doctor who's staff is WILLING TO LET ME PAY for their mismanagement and inability to back their promises. They have been perfectly pleasant, but completely unwilling to make things right. I am usually willing to forgive and allow people to make up for their mistakes, but they are apparently unwilling to admit any responsibility. I am taking my business to another doctor.*update* They did have the hospital coordinator call the hospital's testing department to see if they had an opening and they do not. Everybody is trying to get their tests done by the end of the year for the same reason.
