Feeney James M MD Facc

Dr Feeney is clinically the best cardiologist I have worked with in 27 years. However, his bedside manner still leaves a lot to be desired. My husband consulted him for cardiac clearance prior to undergoing surgery. Luckily, he passed his cardiac testing. However, his cholesterol medication needed adjustment and Dr Feeney couldn’t be bothered. I guess insurance companies don’t reimburse well enough for that service.

Quite frankly, one of the more distrastous medical practices that I’ve encountered. The first time I was there, I was called into the room without the «staff» even introducing herself. I mention this because 1) she explained that Dr. Feeney wants photos taken of all his patients and 2) she said that she needed to take an EKG, so I can change and this will only take a moment. She made no effort to «cushion» the conversation and actually repeated, «go ahead and change». This was a «top only» change so I did… The EKG done, she told me to go ahead and change. At this point, I said something along the lines of, «this is really weird… I’ve never had to change with a ‘staff’ in the room and who did not introduce herself but just gives patients orders… I mean, a patient sees a doctor to feel ‘better, not to feel worse’…». Two weeks ago, I called the office to have my prescription refilled. This weekend, I stopped by the pharmacy to pick up my medication. The pharmacist, whom I’ve been using for years (yes, years!) told me that the request was faxed twice: on ¹¹⁄₂₀ and again on ¹¹⁄₂₅. I said I’d call the doctor and when I did, I had to leave a message. Dr. called me back and I explained that my pharmacy had requested my prescription twice, and he told me that his office never received this! At this point, I told him that my pharmacy would not make up things like that… and he made this «this is beyond my pay grade and I do not know what happened» poor attempt of an excuse… I was not calm at this point and he finally TOOK ME OFF SPEAKER PHONE!!! I basically told him that this is not amusing and quite rude. I went off and said that if this is beyond his pay grade, I need him to find out what happened because I am his patient and I am paying him!!! So much for having no bedside manners! I hope people considering Dr. Feeney reads this and realizes that NO PATIENT DESERVES TO BE TREATED like a paycheck. Serious!!!

Writing as I’m sitting in their waiting room, 45 minutes after our appointed time and probably another hour wait for a 15 minute appointment! As far as I can tell, this office is never on time. That has been my experience each and every time.
As for Dr. Feeney, he’s kept us waiting for 45ins in a waiting room, spent 2 minutes to say everything’s fine and we can go.
The lack of respect for people’s time pisses me off.

Dr. Feeney is honestly the best. So caring and attentive. And rest assured, he will call you back, even if it is 7:00 at night or Saturday morning. Truly, he is the best. I am so glad to be in his care.

Dr. Feeney took excellent care of me when I was admitted to the Seton Emergency room with a possible cardiac event that instead turned out to be a GI hemorrhage. He has a calm, professional bedside manner and made every effort to keep me comfortable and informed about what was going on.
