“Dr Putman has been my daughter’s cardiologist since birth (16 years). She was born with congenital heart disease and he was referred to us as one of the top cardiologists. His knowledge and professionalism are truly amazing. We are very fortunate to have him as our cardiologist all these years. His staff is extremely friendly and attentive and his office is always clean.”
“I highly recommend Dr. Putman as a pediatric cardiologist! When I brought my newborn daughter to see him I was given accurate guidance, excellent support, and genuine encouragement that was needed as my daughter has heart issues. Dr. Putman is very knowledgeable and is great at explaining complex terms in a way that nervous parents are able to understand! The staff office is friendly and helpful and the office is full of modern equipment in a nice building.”
“Dr. Putman is one of the best cardiologists I could ever know. I met Dr. Putman the day I had my son Michael. He was the only person who made me realize this wasn’t my fault. Michael is now 21 and living his best life ever and I owe it all to Dr. Putman. I never question what Dr. Putman wants because he’s always right and he truly loves each one of his patients. Dr. Putman is family to us. Dr. Putman’s staff are amazing. Dr. Putman doesn’t get five stars he gets ten stars. Especially from mom. I’m so grateful.”
“Dr. Putman is an outstanding pediatric cardiologist. He’s very knowledgeable and great with children. He’s been treating my son (now 11years old) since birth. We owe his life to him and the surgeon who corrected his heart defect.”
