    She was very knowledgeable, she explained a few things to me that I wasn't aware of before my heart attack. She spoke to me about some of the medications I've been on for years and years. She seemed very kind and very caring and I truly enjoyed visiting with her. She made me feel like we were best friends. I would recommend her to anyone. She was great.

    Esteher Spataro, is the only person I know that embodies what a nurse is, and should be. Compassipn, Respect, Knowledge, and the ability to share it so I have an understanding of it. The only disapointment I have had is in me, I found the cardiac rehab to depressing, and mostly useless, and the need for support for the new patient. Esther, is the only support I have at St. Joseph's as an open heart patient and without her I may not have been here as a person.

    My initial visit with ESTHER. She was outstanding. Did not rush us and was very thorough. Reviewed prescriptions and made recommends concerned my dizziness. I gave her a copy of the recommendations from Blue Cross pharmacist.She reviewed it within the next two days and called me with recommendations. I and my husband, whom also attended the appointment, was very impressed with Esther's apparent knowledge as a cardiologist. We feel she is providing excellent care.
