I have been a patient od Dr. Weisfogel for more than 30 years. He initially diagnosed my cardiac issues after my first few visits.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Weisfogel
Dr. Weisfogol is a brilliant physician and even more important, he is a kind and caring human being that makes himself available 24/7 whenever needed. He is truly a SUPER doctor. His office staff seems also to have been made from similar cloth.
I first met him 15 years ago when he was not yet my doctor. I was on a gurney in the emergency room after my first heart attack, kind of lost… See more
The older I get the more acute I'm aware of my health concerns and how to mitigate them. I've done my best to do that, especially after my episode with septic shock. I really dislike taking my daily 'drug cocktail' but understand its significance for each drug. Asking questions helps and my goal is to minimize the number of drugs I'm putting in my body. I also believe… See more
My doctor takes care of me very well after being his patient for many, many years. But if the MDVIP rates keep on increasing as it was again this year after I was assured last year there would be no more increases I would be forced to look for another wellness program which I can afford.
The most caring and understanding dr. He is never too busy to u strata d and listen. Appointments are never rushed. He can always be reached
I have been a member of MDVIP for a little over 2 years now. I'm 74 years old, so it's not a very long time in the scheme of things but long enough to have gotten to know Dr Weisfogel. After being disappointed with several Internists I wasn't sure if his office would be any different. This, at a time when we were all forced to wear masks, so I actually couldn't see his… See more
We respect Dr. Weisfogel's right to a private life and therefor think seriously before calling him off-hours. In each of the few times we needed his help off-hours he was always immediately available and helped us through our tough time. As one of the lead PA's at RWJ Hospital said "he's one of our finest docs". We could not agree more.
After a stress test with another cardiologist, he determined that I had a blockage and would need a bypass. I was assigned to Dr. Weisfogel in the hospital who was able to determine that my problem was pulmonary hypertension treatable with rest and medication and was able to avoid surgery.
So the beginning: ten years ago I was experiencing heart palpitations that kept me awake for hours every night, and that scared me. My oncologist recommended a cardiologist to me; I believe they played music together. I liked Dr. Weisfogel immediately, but was frustrated at the long wait I always seemed to have in the waiting room. After my second visit with him, I mentioned that… See more
I have been a patient of Dr. Gerald Weisfogel for twenty years. He has been very active in the care of my health. From day one, his concerns for my well-being were evident. Dr. Weisfogel reviewed my prior history and determined that I needed to undergo a Stress test. Short story, in 2003 I had multiple Stents implanted and I am here today, thanks Doc. Over the years Dr. Weisfogel has been… See more
