Internists - Altoona, PA

"I was admitted to UPMC Altoona in august while having a heart attack, Dr George Jabbour was on call that morning and he made sure that I was taken care of. He performed a heart catherization and determined that my blockage was minimal , so they did not insert any stents. They performed a cardioversion to get my heart into a steady beat and monitored me. The following day I went into a full cardiac arrest ! Dr. Jabbour and the hospital staff performed chest compressions and used the paddles on me for over 47 minutes. I was shocked 9 times and they did not give up on me ! I owe my new life to Dr. Jabbour, the hospital staff and prayer from family and friends. I have heard that some doctors only try to get a heart beat back for 10 to 20 minutes, but he said that "something told him to continue with the chest compressions and the defib paddles. Doctor Jabbour has been excellent and very professional every time I have seen him. He genuinely cares about his patients and their treatment. If I could leave more than 5 stars I would ! He is terrific !"

"Doctor Manon has been my doctor since 2005. I appreciate his considerate manner and his reasonableness. He respects the patient and is willing to work within their wishes. Under his care I was able to discontinue dialysis in September of 2005 and have been stable since."

"Unfortunately, I found my most recent visit leaving me with questions of how engaged my doctor was in what I was saying, what I was asking and addressing my current medical needs. To add to this great concern, was the poor business practice of re-locating the doctor's office and not notifying patients of the change, further punctuated with comments by the office staff, questioning if the doctor was still in the office."
