Decaro Matthew MD Introduce

Decaro Matthew MD is a cardiologist located at 925 Chestnut St # 5, Philadelphia, PA 19107, USA. As a "heart doctor near me," Dr. Decaro focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

For inquiries or appointments, Dr. Decaro's office can be reached at (215) 955-5050 or +1 215-955-5050. This contact information allows potential patients to connect with the office for scheduling and other related matters.

Patient reviews present a significantly contrasting view of Dr. Decaro's practice. One patient offers high praise, stating they would give Dr. Decaro "10 stars" if possible. They highlight his long-term care, spanning 28 years, during which he diagnosed a previously undetected heart condition. The patient also emphasizes Dr. Decaro's dedication, noting that he provided medical advice via phone while on vacation. This review praises his "amazing bedside manner" and overall care.

Conversely, another patient provides a highly critical review, giving Dr. Decaro one star, which was only done to allow the review to be posted. The reviewer condemns Dr. Decaro for "deliberate lack of wearing PPE into a dying patient's room in an oncology unit during a global pandemic." This review raises serious concerns about infection control and patient safety.

These reviews paint a picture of a doctor with potentially excellent diagnostic skills and patient dedication, but also one who has been accused of serious breaches of protocol. Therefore, it is important to note that the reviews are extremely polarized. As a cardiologist, Dr. Decaro likely provides a range of services, which may include:

  • Diagnostic testing (e.g., electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, stress tests).
  • Management of cardiovascular conditions (e.g., hypertension, coronary artery disease, arrhythmias).
  • Preventative cardiac care and risk factor management.

Potential patients should carefully consider the conflicting reviews and perhaps seek further information before making decisions about their care. To obtain more detailed information about the office environment, specific services offered, or any promotional offerings, it is recommended to contact Dr. Decaro's office directly.

Reviews

I would rate this physician zero stars, but I would not be permitted to write a review, hence, one star. One star in response to his deliberate lack of wearing PPE into a dying patient's room in an oncology unit during a global pandemic. Is the rationale, if the cancer doesn't kill you, COVID-19 will?

I love Dr Decaro. He has always been so kind and listens to us. When we have an issue, he doesn’t have his nurse call, he himself calls which shows me how much he really cares about his patients.
