Clifford DANIEL Gladstone's Online Review Report Card

Dr Gladstone is thorough and not rushed. Happy to answer questions. Does not over test; but test enough to get necessary answers.

Very thorough. He explains things well and spends time with you to answer any questions you may have. I have been seeing him for 10 years and trust him with my care.

I have been a patient of Dr. Gladstone for over 10 years. He is a superb physician, takes time to explain his findings thoroughly and to advise on recommended treatment. When an elderly family member was in crisis, I had him flown to NJ so that he could be seen by this physician because of his excellent diagnostic skills.

My husband was under this Doctor's care after he had 7 stents put in for the "widow" maker. My husband has always been in good shape, a runner and a vegetarian. So after being told he had these blockages, he was very strict about diet and exercise, losing a lot of weight. After a number of stress tests this Dr. told my husband it was ok to go off of Plavix, the blood thinner to prevent blockages. He was told this over the telephone and wasn't warned about risk factors. My husband had a massive heart attack within 4 days of being taken off the medication. It was explained that the body attacks even a small portion of stents that are open to attack by the body's own defense system, known as stent stenosis. This caused a massive heart attack and it is a complete miracle that he survived. Dr Gladstone did not discuss the risks of going off this medication. He spent two minutes with him on the phone. I made several calls to this office during and after the heart attack, this office never returned our calls. I was very aware from the beginning at how this Dr. spent so little time in his office explaining things. It was almost as though we were wasting his time. I urged my husband to find a new doctor. I highly advice you do your research before dealing with this man.

I cannot say enough bad things about this Dr. This is a state of the arts practice coupled with a with an uncaring, neglectful cardiologist. Dr. Gladstone allowed my husband to be taken off a medication which he needed, resulting in a near fatal heart attack. It is an absolute miracle that he is even alive. I called the office numerous times during our ordeal only to be told off by his attending physician while I was in the Emergency Room with my husband...something to the order "if you are being treated stop calling us." Never once did anyone in that practice take the time to call us to see how he was doing. Good medical care is more than fancy offices and equipment. I am truly horrified by what we went through and the absolute inhuman way we were treated.
