List of Richard D. Paustian's Reviews
Dr Paustian refused to take information in a referral from another Montana cardiologist and wanted me to start my care and diagnosis over. Unwelcoming office gave no reason for imposing hurdles to care.

I cannot imagine a better physician!

Dr Paustian refused a referral and associated analysis of my heart condition. He wanted me to start from scratch and throw out the EKG and month-long heart monitor results for no reason.

I’ve experienced chest discomfort and flutters. I was given a device called a Zio Patch to wear for 2 weeks. It fell off the first time 30 minutes after it was put on. The clinic told me to call the Zio help line. Over 2.5 days it fell off numerous times despite adding new tape including falling off while sleeping. The Zio helpline had me send it in. They billed me over $500 for reading the results ...

My opinion as well as all my MANY other doctors consider Dr. Paustian as the best cardiologist in Helena. I just moved to Clyde Park so I am having to change most of my doctors, but I will continue to make the 100+ mile trip to Helena to see Dr. Paustian.

Dr. Paustian was extremely thorough and attentive. He gave me a lot of helpful information that I have not been able to understand from my previous cardiologists in Washington state.

Our experience was terrible. He is very competent as a cardiologist. However the way he talks to patients and family is absurd. I've never seen such behavior from doctor to patient. I worked 10 years in health care administration with medical staff. So I've seen physician behave poorly, but I've never seen anything like this. Hard to find good cardiologist but look around and avoid this one.

After cardiac arrest in the ER, Dr. Paustian recsuscitated me twice, diagnosed a clogged artery, installed a stent and saved my life. Five years later, I continue my life as an avid hiker and backpacker. OK? 'Nuff said.

He tells it like it is, but his decisions are solid and I have absolute faith in his knowledge and skills

All the information you see here is based on our analysis of internet reviews across the seven major review platforms most used by consumers during their healthcare provider selection. The platforms we selected are Google, WebMD, Yelp, HealthGrades, Facebook, RateMDs, and Vitals. The analysis algorithm uses the compiled data of average score, recency of reviews, number of reviews, and the sentiment expressed in the written comments. It then assigns weight to each parameter based on the available research on how consumers use reviews in their doctor selection process. This report is designed to help identify the doctors with the best overall review score in an area and does not reflect the doctors' competence.
