Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He eases you and your child into the heart in a very amazing manner . He personally ran all tests on my son not leaving any technical details out . All the wonderful reviews about him were 100 percent accurate .

Dr. Putman helped guide our family through a tough time when a member of our family was diagnosed with a heart condition. He is a thorough, smart, and kind doctor who takes his time with each patient. You will not regret being under his care!

There are not enough words to convey my happiness with Dr. Putman and his team! Dr. Putman identified a very serious cardiac condition shortly after the birth of my son. He explained everything - every step of the way! He was able o connect me with skilled surgeons and has followed up with us to ensure my son remains in good health. His staff is beyond excellent- friendly, efficient. Appointments are on time - I never wait long in the waiting room.

We love Dr. Putman!On our first visit he sat down with us in his office & actually drew us a picture of my daughter's heart & explained what wasn't functioning properly. He answered all of our questions & didn't rush us at all. With every visit he takes the time to explain things & answer any questions. He's also worked very closely with CHOP for us since my daughter has had surgeries there & continues to follow up with them. He's a very thorough and caring doctor with a great personality.

Dr.Putman has been caring for my daughter since birth when we discovered she had ASD/VSD (2 holes in here heart). He helped us through one of the most difficult times of our lives. He gave us advise as if our daughter was his own child. Thanks to his advise our daughter's heart is nearly perfect and she only needs to see him once a year! He is caring, friendly, kind and patient with my daughter and I highly recommend Dr. Putnam! Simply the best Pediatric Cardiologist there is!

Dr.Putman is one of the most caring and thorough doctors I have ever been to. He went above and beyond to make sure my child felt at ease at the exam and that I had all the information. He is always available and has a wonderful office staff. I have done a lot of research on finding the best for my children and there is no one better.

Best experience of doctor's visit so far. Dr Putman is very cheerful, friendly and patient. He is very good with kids and he explained things as he performed the various procedures. He also has an online Patient Portal where we can see our health records and send messages (though I haven't got the need to send messages). I wish all our doctors have such patient portal where we can retrieve our medical history when needed (e.g. for school documents).

Laid back and thorough! Went for a fetal echo explained all the physiological structures as well as their function. As a person with white coat syndrome he made me feel completely at ease. Traveled over a half hour to see him and would've traveled further if need be!

My pediatrician recommended us to Dr.Putman after hearing a heart murmur in our two month old son. This news was of course frightening as first time parents, but after leaving Dr.Putmans office we feel so much better. He made sure to fully explain everything to the T and was AMAZING with our son. He incredibly got him to stay asleep during the entire appointment...even during the ultra sound, by humming and rubbing my sons head! Just awesome!!! Would recommend him to any and everyone 100%!
