  • Dr Calarese and his staff are beyond professional. They are so kind and really make you feel appreciated and that you matter. Angela, Mercy and Emma are the best. No one gave me answers for months and then I was referred to this office and got the answers I have wanted along with a solution. They are the BEST!!!!!!

  • I brought my 91yr old mother for her appt with Dr Calarese regarding her heart condition. My mother has always been reluctant to go see any doctor especially seeing a specialist. When we first arrived at the office, the staff was nice and we felt comfortable. Dr Calarese was very warm, friendly and had a great attitude which made mother feel comfortable. He explained her heart condition, he took the time to listen to her regarding her personal opinion on her health. After everything was said and done, he suggested for her to meet Dr Bear, a cardiologist to have her schedule an appt to establish care for her heart and for monitoring her blood pressure. I was surprised she listened to Dr. Calarese, I think it was because of his caring nature that she took his advice and scheduled an appt.to see Dr. Bear. Overall a great experience!

  • I have seen both Dr. Mann and Dr. Calarese and they have both been very good! The office staff members have all been very kind and helpful. I also appreciate the fact that all of the testing needed is done in the same facility. I had been referred to YRMC for a cardiologist, but they were booked up until January, which was ten months out at the time. I did my own research online and found Peak Heart and they were able to get me in fairly quickly. Thank you all for being here, you're greatly needed and appreciated!
