About Dr. Joel Jacowitz
Dr. Jacowitz has been practicing cardiology in the tristate area for the last 25 years. He is currently working for Valley Medical Arrhythmia and Cardiology Group located at 200 West 57th St. in Manhattan.
He obtained his medical degree from Downstate Medical center in Brooklyn, completed an internal medicine residency at Metropolitan and Harlem Hospitals, and his initial cardiology fellowship at Harlem Hospital. After practicing cardiology for 6 years, he decided to obtain further invasive and interventional training at Dartmouth-Mary Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire. Currently he is board certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular diseases, nuclear cardiology, and echocardiography.
For over 25 years, he practiced non-invasive, invasive and interventional cardiology but now focuses strictly on non-invasive cardiology by providing the follow services for his patients: consultative cardiology, echocardiography, stress testing, preventive cardiology, and arrhythmia monitoring and management. When appropriate, patients can be referred to other subspecialists in electrophysiology, cardiac intervention, structural heart, and cardiac surgery.
Outside interests include travel, Italian language, reading, and exercise. As a former 2:35 marathoner and former 2nd degree black belt in Taekwondo, he is interested in helping those who want to start exercise especially patients with underlying cardiovascular disease and for others who want to improve their performance.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The doctor was attentive and asked a lot of questions about my medical history and medications. Recommended certain tests and referred me to another specialist. The staff even made the appointments for me. I will definitely return for my yearly visits.

Overall good experience - staff at the office helped coordinate with my insurance to get me the services the Dr. requested. Dr. was efficient, addressed my concerns, and gave advice around weight loss.

The whole office was great!
September 26, 2024Lucia P.Verified patient
The Dr. came in and didn't greet us. Was short with me, standoffish, not kind, didn't listen or go over my results with me. Brushed me off and just told me to come back in a month. Will be going elsewhere.

I found Dr. Jacowitz to be fully on pointe with my concerns and the problems I was having with the medicine I had been prescribed by another cardiologist.
After reviewing my history that was available at the time of my appointment, he made adjustments to my medication and pending his full review of my records has advised me of some tests that may be required. I feel fully confident with my new doctor, and would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a patient and well informed cardiologist.
I also did not have to wait for 3 months to get an appointment with him as a new patient. He has scheduled me for a followup visit to see the reults of my medication changes. Thank you

Lovely office, friendly staff, great doctor.

The office and staff were completely fine and wonderful--no issues there. I'm quite sure the doctor took a look at my gender, medications, and weight, and made assumptions based on this. I was told to "ignore chest pain" and was reminded twice that the BMI chart considers me obese even though all my labs look great and I exercise regularly. Even though I don't believe there's a major issue with my heart, I went to find a resolution for the pain, and to be told to "ignore it" is outrageous to me.

Lovely Doctor and staff . Easy breezy!
January 10, 2023Suzanne E.Verified patient
Dr. Jacowitz was very kind, informative, and immediately addressed all of my concerns. He was aghast at how other doctors treated me, and he quickly took charge of the situation to protect my health. I came in for dangerously high blood pressure that my primary and two ERs couldn't figure out, and Dr. Jacowitz has immediately jumped on the issue with an extensive and fast plan to bring it under control, all the while remaining very calm and assuring that I am going to be fine.
December 22, 2022Ferdinand R.Verified patient
I felt so welcomed and the staff and doctor were so lovely. I plan to continue to visit their office for additional follow up.

Outstanding & thorough doctor who is expert in his treatment, assessment of the heart, etc. & gives sage advice. Dr. Jacowitz asks all the right questions. He is excellent and recommended a blood test which was so spot on for related conditions I was experiencing. He knows his stuff and told me to take a tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil to lower cholesterol! I loved being there and the staff is welcoming and child-friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
September 1, 2022Linda M.Verified patient
Staff was very accommodating and friendly. The visit went very well. Doctor was very thorough. He didn't know about medications I needed to know about though and didn't look them up.
