Eric Pressman's Online Review Report Card

Spent no time with my husband who was released from the hospital with a fractured skull and a brain bleed. Just did not seem to care, was arrogant, and said if insurance paid they may do a test in 6 weeks. My dear sweet husband passed away several days later. So, Pressman does not have to worry about getting money first and giving medical help second. JUST NO TO THIS CHARLATAN.

Dr. Pressman & the staff of the Cardiology Center are excellent. I highly recommend.

I had a terrible experience with Dr Pressman’s office. He referred me to Dr Ekert for an ablation and he and his staff were great. Dr Pressman’s office was suppose to schedule an implant monitor within 2 weeks of the ablation. It’s been a month and I have called numerous times and still no call back.

Totally impressed and satisfied with the level of care I receive from Dr Pressman.

He literally said I'm going to die and that I've outlived my life expectancy and what am I bothering with medicine for anymore anyway

Dr Pressman looked in on my husband while he was in the hospital. He was direct and to the point. I found that refreshing. Dr Pressman will continue to see my husband in the office, and feel confident in his care.

Perhaps the worst bedside manner I’ve ever encountered. His ego enters the room before him. Talks painfully loud and never looks at you. Bangs away on the keyboard while failing to communicate effectively. Terrible experience. Immediately looked for a new doctor.

The office staff at CCE is lacking in knowledge, compassion, willingness to help, and perhaps ability to do their job. If you want records sent or requested, billing without errors, or to receive test results, do not go here. It takes several weeks to get test results. Most recently, the nurse finally called and was very rude. I said I was having trouble hearing her. Her reply was “What do you want me to do?” Seriously?!? Maybe speak up, or speak slower, or speak more concisely. I tried to bring my mother in as a new patient. They had to receive records from her previous cardiologist prior to making an appointment so she filled out the form. A few months later, I called to ask the status. The records clerk could not care less. She had not received any records. I asked if she had sent the form? She said, “You’d have to ask them.” Really, there’s not enough interest in getting new patients to track and follow up on records requests? (I called the previous doctor—no form was received.)

He is direct and straight to the point. No games! This is a quality I have gone out of my way for and will continue to.

Arrogant, disparaging and condescending. Questions you like you were a a 3 year old toddler caught in the cookie jar. When a patient indicates that they have been treated by other out of area cardiologists, his disposition transforms and he becomes quite agitated. From there the appointment goes downhill. Phone in requests are always on the diner bell time with their answering system and ones' requests seem to get lost in the phone lines too often. Constant EKG's and always pushing stress testing. Does not identify the new drugs he prescribes with thoroughness or cost. His manner is always brusque when he is finger typing away and one feels that the appointment is prematurely over while you are waiting to be excused with no more questions being accepted. Although he is a very astute and competent cardiologist, a course in interpersonal skills would benefit the patient/doctor experience appreciably.
