Patient reviews present serious concerns regarding the organization and communication within Dr. Maniatis's office. One reviewer, who initially found Dr. Maniatis to be a good doctor and liked speaking with him, details significant issues with communication between the doctor and his staff. This reviewer, a nurse themselves, recounts calling with a question about permitted physical activities post-surgery and having to speak to three different people before leaving a message. The subsequent call back from a nurse provided inaccurate information due to the office apparently having no record of the reviewer's recent surgery performed by Dr. Maniatis the previous week, despite the surgery having occurred. This lack of record-keeping and communication led the reviewer to decide to no longer be a patient at the practice.

Another review is highly critical, labeling Dr. Maniatis the "Worse doctor!!!" This reviewer recounts their father needing a TAVR procedure, undergoing required tests, and having the procedure scheduled two months later. In the weeks leading up to the procedure, they experienced significant difficulties with communication and planning. They were informed of a pre-procedure admission for fluid removal but faced daily unanswered inquiries about the admission date, with the doctor never returning their calls. Only after escalating to a supervisor was the father admitted. According to the review, Dr. Maniatis did not see the patient during the five-day admission, despite repeated messages. The patient was then discharged with a concerning statement about his kidney function (which was reportedly fine before admission), and the reviewer ultimately switched to another provider who performed the procedure promptly. This reviewer strongly advises others to "STAY AWAY FROM THIS DOCTOR!!!" citing months of suffering due to the delays and lack of communication.

Based on these reviews, while one patient found Dr. Maniatis to be a good doctor initially, both reviews highlight severe and concerning issues with communication, staff organization, patient follow-up, and potentially patient safety and well-being. These accounts raise significant red flags about the operational aspects of Dr. Maniatis's practice. Individuals seeking a "Heart Doctor Near Me" should carefully consider these serious concerns before choosing Dr. Maniatis for their cardiac care.
