Dr Revkin first contacted me PRIOR to my first visit when he pre charts his new patients. He alerted me to a medical condition that is time sensitive. Dr Revkin is an extraordinary expert in his field whose communication skills enabled me to make educated decisions about medications, future testing, and my future. He treated me as a person of worth, not just a patient. It is obvious that his focus is to empower people by sharing his vast knowledge and passion for providing the very best in Cardiac care. I would recommend him a million times over.

Dr. Revkin is always on target. He checks in to see how my new medication is doing, and he checks in to see how I'm tolerating any kind of new injectables which I have. And he goes to the extent of actually recommending me for some studies and sending me articles for me to read to kind of get acquainted with what he's thinking is. and then would like to ask for an opinion. So I am grateful that he's doing these things because he really, really makes me feel that I am being cared for and being listened to and I really love him. He's wonderful. Thank you.

Dr. Revkin is one of my favorite specialists. He is always on time, respectful, he asks very thoughtful questions, he always takes what I have to say into account into the treatment plan and the follow-up and I'm just very grateful. He is one of the first people who really took initiative when I started having symptoms. When I was blown off by other providers, he delved in and took me on as a patient and I am really forever grateful for him. Excellent provider. Great bedside manner as well. Big fan.

Dr. Revkin had reviewed my record and while asking me questions about how I am, and questions about my familial medical conditions, he was able to weave in conversation. He explained my conditions and how we are going to address them. Dr. Revkin was very easy to talk to, he answered my questions and I did not hesitate to ask him questions. Dr. Revkin's Provider Letter was so complete including the full picture of my medical situation. He was aware that I live in Maine and offered Telemedicine visits in the future. [redacted]

I was assigned to Dr Revkin well over a year ago to evaluate me and any/all cardiac issues I was dealing with. Instantly we hit it off and Dr Revkin has not only become my Cardiologist and a trusted member of my care team - but a valued friend! He always is prepared coming in to our appointments, has reviewed and is prepared to discuss my backstory and spends more than enough time with me reviewing our plan moving forward to keep me at my best.

Dr Revkin was knowledgeable and nice. However, he did not ask me about my diet or physical activity before lecturing me about healthy habits which was very presumptive. He did take notes when I offered that information voluntarily, but it is not helpful to be told how to eat and exercise by someone who knows nothing about your lifestyle. Especially when it is the same generic advice that we are bombarded with ad nauseam.

I had a thoughtful Patient Gateway communication the week before my visit. I felt prepared and informed for my visit. The doctor was friendly and and attentive to me and to my husband. I asked questions and received thoughtful responses with data driven explanations. When a new medication was prescribed the doctor took the time to share how the medication will work in my body. I was shown statistics on the side effects. The appointment made me feel prepared to face and to control my health conditions. I believe I can connect with the doctor and his office with any questions and concerns.

He was outstanding. I enjoyed his company. He explained things in a manner that was very understandable and he was totally engaged. I walked away raving to my wife what a very positive experience it was and I would recommend him highly to anyone. And then he was very responsive after the fact, you know, doing a summary of what transpired at the appointment. So on a scale from one to ten, I wish I could give him a number higher than a ten.
2025-12-04

He truly listened to me and he took me very seriously with my concerns about my care or lack there of by my primary care team. He was honest about the severity of my results but also very sensitive to my fears and he sent a letter to my primary care dr. About my concerns about my lack of treatment earlier on even when I reminded them of my family history.

This was the first time I was seen by Dr. Revkin and he was outstanding. He took the time to thoroughly understand my medical history and all of my concerns. He gave careful thought to changes in my medications and explained his reasoning in a clear and understandable way. He discussed my diet and gave me recommendations to improve it. And then he followed up the appointment, via Patient Gateway, with articles he recommended and additional thoughts he had on my treatment plan. Dr. Revkin is an outstanding provider - I couldn't recommend him more highly!
