Dr. Lawrence Antonucci, MD

My mother was a patient of Dr. Antonucci's for over 20 years. She ended up in the hospital needing an emergency surgery, her heart condition obviously being a complication and concern and she is also on blood thinners. I called the office to speak to Dr. Antonucci and let him know what was going on and see if he would weigh in and was told they would not call him because he was off, despite her having to have an emergency surgery that could be complicated by her heart condition, which was absolutely ridiculous to me. I get that doctors are allowed to have lives so I accepted being told Dr. Sebastian would call me back because he was in the office that day. He never called me. My mother then called hours later and was fed all of the same information. She also received no phone call back from Dr. Sebastian. These people don't give a damn about their patients.

Wait times may be longer for Dr. Antonucci than for other doctors mostly because he wants to be sure that his patients are comfortable with the information the doctor has given them, will explain why and how to take the prescribed medication again and again in the same visit if the patient needs reassurances; reviews the results of laboratory tests and provides the patient with copies for their home files and genuinely cares about his patients’ welfare. He has a wonderful group of partners who are also excellent but Dr. Antonucci is exceptional in his diagnostic abilities and has an amazing strength in his abilities to calmly discuss what can be frightening information in a manner that helps keep the patient working actively in his or her care plan rather than folding and giving up! I would readily recommend Dr. Antonucci to anyone who wants a great cardiac diagnostician who can easily, simply and thoroughly explain conditions, treatment options and future goals. But be patient!

Began seeing in 1992 after open heart surgery..he proposed a drug regimen and I am in very good health 35 years later at age 78.

I had a poor experience here. I understand that a busy practice requires systems. I got over the fact that I did not consult or meet the doctor before all the test got started, then also got over it when he came in when I was going through the stress test and my back was facing his back when he sat at the desk and asked questions while I was out of breath. I figured, maybe this is his way to help as many patients as possible. Systems, I get it. But can’t get over sitting in a room, waiting for r

I had been going to doctor Antonucci for 17 years now, I always say ,I hope never retires!, I do not think I will find another cardiologist so caring, so proffesional, so clear when he explains things to you. With Dr Antonucci your heart is in the best cardiologist hands you can find!

Excellent, very attentive, thorough cardiologist. And a wonderful man, besides being a great doctor

I first saw Dr Antonucci yesterday in his Morristown location. What a difference from the other cardiologists I've seen in the past! He spent a good deal of time with me, I never felt like I was being rushed and he truly listened to and explained everything to me in an easy-to-understand manner. He has a nice kind way about him and I felt an immediate rapport. I sure lucked out with this doctor. Years ago, a recovery room nurse recommended him; I'm glad I took her advice!

He is kind and gentle and really makes you feel heard. He explains everything in clear terms.

I was seeing dr. Antonucci for the past 20 years. I recently moved to Florida and am so disappointed not to have him as my doctor anymore. He was honest realistic and always had time to talk to me regarding my health even if it was a phone call to the office. I felt that he was also a friend to talk to about on other medical issues that arose and always steered me in the right direction. As for his staff, they are the best. Pinky and Coleen were always there to help me on any issues or concerns

From the moment Dr. Antonucci walk into the exam room we immediately felt confortable. His bedside manner was the best I've have had for a long time. Dr.Antonucci was eager to spend as much time as necessary to answer all our questions. I would highly recommend Dr. Antoinuci to any of my friend!
