Robert I. Rattiner, M.D.
A Cardiologist with Heart!
Sounds corny, you say. But in these current times, a common complaint is about feeling dehumanized at the doctor's office. In our practice, we strive to take care of each patient in a thorough, caring, and comforting manner.
We are a full service cardiology practice, performing in-depth cardiology consultations, echocardiography, stress testing, stress echocardiography, nuclear stress tests, cardiac catheterizations, and pacemaker interrogations. Welcome to my new practice web-site, and I hope to see you soon in the office. |  Robert I. Rattiner, M.D.

I am pleased to announce the relocation of my practice as of July 1, 2001.
Welcome to my new Web Site, and I hope to welcome you soon to the new office. Call today to make an appointment to stop in to update your annual physical exam or for a follow-up visit.
December 2001: I have now received my new, state-of-the-art Echocardiogram and Stress Test machines. The Echo machine has phenomenal ability to pick up fine details, even in patients who have "difficult windows," or whose prior echo tests have been "cloudy" due to technical limitations.
September 2009: I have plenty of doses of the Pneumovax vaccine against pneumonia. Please give us a call today, so we can reserve a dose for you against this nasty wintertime enemy. September 2009: It is anticipated that the vaccines for the traditional seasonal influenza, Influenza A, will be in normal supply this year. Check back for an update on our supply. We are expecting to receive the Influenza A vaccine in early October, as usual. I will also have an update next month on whether there will be an available to us of the vaccine against H1N1, the Swine Flu. IMPORTANT MESSAGE Re: FLU (INFLUENZA A) VACCINES: The following groups are at high risk for influenza complications and should receive vaccination from any source available. In addition to my office, drug stores, employers, the health dept., local hospitals or VA Centers are other possible sources for vaccination. · adults aged 65 years and older; · persons aged 2-64 years with underlying chronic medical conditions, especially heart and respiratory diseases; · all children aged 6-23 months; · all women who will be pregnant during the influenza season; · residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities; · children aged 6 months-18 years on chronic aspirin therapy; · health-care workers involved in direct patient care; and · out-of-home caregivers and household contacts of children aged < 6 months. I currently participate with Medicare, Empire Blue Choice, GHI, Oxford, First Choice Network, Magna Care, Magna Health, VYTRA, 1199, Multiplan, HIP, United Health Care, Cigna, and Aetna, among others. Call us for details, as the list continues to grow; so check with us periodically to see if we've become a part of YOUR plan.
As the colder weather approaches, call us today to stop putting off making an appointment to start taking care of some of those health issues--the blood pressure, the high cholesterol, the smoking or weight problems. Don't procrastinate any longer. We can help you start getting healthier NOW! |
