George Mammen's Online Review Report Card

After 3 visits ONLY prescribed 1 medication from 50 mg to 200 mg?! I’m 53, 135lbs?! I don’t smoke or drink?! No additional testing? No discussion of health? Nurse told me, “We don’t care about the rest of your body, only your heart!” This doctor and staff almost killed me!

Let me preface this with sharing that I have extensive knowledge & experience in working in & around the medical arena;  My husband was referred to Dr. Mammen for evaluation of ongoing chest discomfort. BEFORE he was even seen for the first appointment his office called and tried to set him up with their nurse practitioner.  After another call was placed to his office, we were able to get his appointment put back with an "MD".   Dr. Mammen decided to proceed with angiogram & stent placement after visiting with my husband at his FIRST visit.  The ONLY tests done prior to the first angiogram was an EKG (which he was told was NORMAL).  No functional testing (echocardiogram, CT Angiogram, stress tests or blood work) were done to confirm any heart damage.  After learning that BOTH major coronary arteries were blocked, Dr.  Mammen decided to only do one stent and bring him back a week later for the second one.  We were instructed to call his office and set everything up the following day.  It took FIVE phone calls from me and a SIXTH phone call back from his office to get him scheduled.At his followup appointment ZERO functional testing was done and echocardiogram was scheduled 4 weeks out with a followup appointment scheduled 2 1/2 months later.It is our opinion that Dr.  Mammen either does not care about the lives of his patients and/or is too busy.  We have found a cardiologist that WILL take care of my husband and happy to report that we FIRED Dr.  Mammen.

Dr. Mammen is an Awesome cardiologists doctor. Extremely professional, knowledgeable and polite. The staff is so nice. My husband and I both is very pleased with him. Thank you Dr. Mammen and your staff. ADel & Gwen, Richmond, Texas

Dr Mammen is a wonderful Doctor and I have seen him for more than 20 years, His new office staff is not that good. I am having a procedure in 4 Days and tried to contact Dr Mammen to see when I need to stop my blood thinners. I called and the Surgeon's office and the Surgery Center tried to contact him for 2 days with no answer, Now the office is closed for the weekend.

Polite, friendly,very knowledgeable with my problem, always there when I need him.
