Incredible doctor and beyond smart. She takes her time she’s warm and inviting and really listens to her patients and will problem solve with you. I wish she could be my doctor for everything lol she’s just brilliant.
Verified patient
I was initially impressed with her bedside manner and Will continue to see her bc i liked her attitude and thoroughness, but her STAFF SUCKS. I had my initial appt almost 2 months ago. They scheduled me for a echo and stress test for about a month later. I was then called and told that there was an issue and the doctor couldn’t be there and I’d have to reschedule both for a month later cuz they were booked. I’ve now just received a call AGAIN telling me that my now rescheduled echo and stress test will have to be rescheduled yet again cuz the doctor won’t be there that day. What kinda mess is this? This is extremely unorganized and unprofessional. Now I have to wait yet another month again to get this test bc her staff is incompetent and unprofessional?? I’m beyond annoyed. Good doctor. Incompetent staff
Dr. Hewitt is amazing. She listens, she engages with me and she cares. She is thorough in helping to get answers and treating my concerns. I recommend her care highly!
Verified patient
My visit with Dr. Hewitt was by far the best doctors visit I have had in years. She had incredible bedside manner and knowledge base. I really felt listened to AND heard, and there is a distinct difference between the two. Despite the fact that I overheard they were a doctor short that day, she was still patient with me and I never once felt rushed. She thoughtfully explained my options and next steps in a way that wasn't overwhelming and pushed to make space for me in the schedule for diagnostics. My only real complaint about my experience was that the front desk staff were not the friendliest. They seemed inconvenienced by me trying to figure out how to schedule my next appointments. Despite that I would highly recommend Dr. Hewitt to anyone looking for a cardiologist.
Dr. Hewitt was incredible. She was patient, kind, extremely intelligent, personable, and just an overall pleasure. She took her time to explain what she was doing and was eager to answer any questions. She gave a physical examination, which many cardiologists don’t even do. The office staff was pleasant and respectful. The wait time was very minimal. Highly recommended with the highest honors.
Verified patient
What a great experience, provider and staff. It’s a little far from where I live (by transit) but worth the trip. Dr. Hewitt and her clinic staff were attentive, warm, and personable. Great experience overall.

Dr Hewitt is amazing! She asked all sorts of relevant questions that brought up information that I wouldn't have thought of asking. She was kind and patient, and made me feel comfortable while clearly communicating everything I need to know. Really one of the best experiences I've had with a medical professional of any kind. The rest of the staff were great too, smart and personable nurses and techs.
Verified patient

Dr Hewitt is an outstanding doctor. She made me feel comfortable and listened to my concerns without rushing me. She was very through and explained things to me in a way I understood and arranged for other tests I needed that same day. Office staff were friendly and helpful and the wait time was not too bad (less than half and hour)
I’m still pending

I was really nervous about this appointment but she was amazing. I mean listened to me, didn’t rush me. When I made a suggestion of what I possibly thought could be causing my issue she didn’t dismiss me and heard me out. Wonderful doctor, great bedside manner and actually calls you with the results, you don’t have to hound her for it. Amazing experience!
