Community Reviews
Provider appeared extremely knowledgable in his profession and had good communication skills. The results of a test were communicated to me very clearly and he noted something else about my condition that previous physician had not discovered. This was my first experience with this provider, and it was very positive. I trusted his judgement completely.Providence Patient
I feel that my provider understands my condition and that he has done all that is possible to help me.Providence Patient
Excellent care al the way around!Providence Patient
excellent careProvidence Patient
The visit was a six month visit following surgery. We reviewed my progress since the surgery and discussed what I should expect in the future. We also discussed medications that might be prescribed and alternatives to the drugs. I was happy with the outcome of those discussions. Dr. Halperin is an excellent surgeon, who listens carefully to patient questions and concerns, and respects patient perspectives. We were able to devise a plan for monitoring my condition in the future.Providence Patient
I feel confident I am getting excellent care for problems with my heart.Providence Patient
Dr Halperin in an EP (meaning he is a surgeon). He is talented in the OR, a clear communicator in the exam room, and, personal enough in communication to develop report with a patient (me). If my heart issues recur I will engage his services again although when we parted ways last week I specifically said, "no offense personally, but I hope we do not meet again!" He understood me perfectly!!!!Providence Patient

Dr. Halperin is a very good doctor. He fixed my heart condition completely and I couldn't be more pleased with him and the cardiac team one and all. I am grateful.Providence Patient
Easy to understand careProvidence Patient
I really appreciated talking to the doctor about my health concerns. He answered all of my questions, even the ones that some may have thought were 'funny'. The staff was great!! I am very thankful that Providence has such a great medical staff. Although I hate to see them (because of my medical concerns) I am glad to know that I am able to have the BEST medical professionals working with me. I just wish we can meet on a casual basis and not a professional. I just hope that the people running Providence knows how great both the Doctors and the medical staff are and how I really think they care about patients like me. Thank you all !!!Providence Patient

great job!Providence Patient
[...] The first words out of his mouth were "are you here looking for a second opinion? " I was so taken aback I had no response. The short visit never got any better. My wife was in the room with me. As we were leaving I asked her "What just happened. We got no answers and were treated as badly as we have ever been treated at this office. [...]Providence Patient
Dr. Halperin is the exact model of what I believe a great cardiologist should be: informed, interested, engaging, open to questions and discussion about my condition, and encouraging. I recommend Dr. Halperin to anyone needing a heart specialist.Providence Patient
