My experience with Dr Lo Giudice has been super positive. The doctor has been very professional and willing to listen and to explain carefully. Having a problem of high blood pressure and being a person (and a patient) a bit anxious, I have really appreciated the patience and the calming attitude of Dr Lo Giudice, that has greatly helped me to relax and to explain all my symptoms and family medical history.

My Mum needed a cardiological consultation so we made an appointment with Dr Lo Giudice. We are very happy to have met him. He is very professional with a natural ability to put the patient at ease and his clear communication helps to understand the possible scenarios and root of the problem. Besides we had often to contact him by email for advice and he has always promptly replied to answer our queries. We highly recommend Dr Lo Giudice.
