Dr. David Newton, MD

Professional, polite, understanding, thorough, listens to patients.

I highly recommend Dr. Newton. Dr. Newton performed a procedure/cauterization on both sides of my heart [right and left atrium] to get me back in sinus rhythm. No complications, two hour procedure and general anesthesia required.

Wait time was long, but Dr Newton was professional and staff was very kind and helpful.

Carefully explained procedure and even drew the heart

I waited two hours to be seen. Dr, Newton came in and was very flippant about my condition. He was tired and yawned through the entire appointment. He had not reviewed my chart, wasn't sure what was going on . It seemed my condition was not severe enough for his attention. I had to ask what we needed to do next, what is the plan. He spent 15 minutes with me and rushed me on out. Scheduled another appointment for me to wear a heart monitor again and follow up. I asked to come off heart medicine. I basically am doing my own heart care plan. But I'm sure Ill be paying a small fortune for the 15 minute appointment that was non productive! I was referred to Dr. Newton by my cardiologist from Statesboro. And I have informed by doctor not to refer others to Dr. Newton!

he Wait time was awful!! Although the Dr and Staff are very friendly- There were at least 14-17 people in the waiting room between the time I arrived: 8:45- waiting for over 2 hours 10 minutes.  It seemed that 3 to 4 patients each were scheduled for 9AM, three more for 9:15 and so on.    At 10:00 AM (or before,) more and more patients piled in - (this is for one Doctor folks!!)  Who does the scheduling?   I do think several people panicked that they were not getting out of there until afternoon! I hope they turn this around for next time!  I'll wait an extra month or two just to get the 8AM appt next time!!  I do like the Doctor- seems to really be good at what he does- (and the staff was very friendly)- but come on...over two hours and my name wasn't even called yet?

Dr Newtons front office is a disaster. Which ever number you call you can only get voice mail and you get put on hold for at 20 - 25 mins. If you get lucky and have an appointment you have to sit in the waiting room at least an hour sometimes 90mins. I had a cardiac ablation done a year ago and was suppose to have a follow up after 6 months. The appointment I had involved the long wait in the waiting room and I didn’t get to see him. His skills as a physician are very good but at the age of 89 every hour I waste in a waiting room is lost to my life and very precious to me. I don’t hold out much hope of getting to see him before I get my wooden overcoat.

Very thorough, personable, easy to understand my particular problem. Made me feel very comfortable.

Dr. Newton is very personable and spends the time it takes to explain the issues and options. I recommend him highly.

Greeted promptly upon arrival. Nurse Michelle was very pleasant reviewing health records. Dr. Newton answered all of my questions and explained what to expect as the results of ablation. Very glad to have Dr. Newtonand Memorial Savannah Cardiology as part of my health team.

Dr. Newton is extremely personable, and humble. He really listens and spends as much time as needed to answer questions or concerns. The office atmosphere is friendly but efficient with a caring staff. And my quality of life is much improved!

I went to Dr Newton for a consultation about an afib ablation. I felt he answered all my questions knowledably. He despite his young age also appears to have plenty of experience with the procedure and a lot of his training comes from one of the best, the Cleveland Clinic

I was referred to Dr. Newton by my Cardiologist Dr. Mark Jenkins. I have been with Dr. Jenkins for 21 years, so I trust him completely. I was very pleased with my visit with Dr. Newton. He answered all of my questions, and explained in detail the procedure that I was seeing him about. He was in no hurry. I am confident that he has my best interest at heart, and that I will be in good hands while under his care.

Everyone was very polite and courteous. Dr Newton was patient and explained the procedure throughly and I never felt rushed. Since he did this procedure for my afib I felt very confident in him.

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing Dr Newton, he took the time to explain To me in a easy way to understand about all of the procedure he was going to preform. His staff is very helpful and has explained what was required prior to the procedure.

My first visit with Dr. Newton! Office atmosphere very clean and all staff members professional!

I am very satisfied with Dr. Newtown. I recently moved here and needed further evaluation of my Afib condition. Dr. Newtown has taken time to evaluate and explain his thoughts on my condition and how to best approach a solution. He is very willing to answer your questions and help ensure you have the proper treatment.

I liked his explanation of the procedure. He was thorough and pleasant and spent enough time with us to gain a good understanding. I also like his training and embrace of the latest technology and methods..

Dr. Newton may be a very qualified electrophysiologist but he sure doesn't listen to his patients. Nor does he ensure appointments are kept. I'm moving to another cardiologist practice in Savannah as a result of two missed appointments and a cavalier and dismissive attitude in discussing my treatment options. Ended up finding a great EP at Duke and driving five hours.

My experience with Dr. Newton has been fantastic and very successful. He was able to accomplish just what we had set out to do. He is extremely intelligent, competent, and personable. I highly recommend him. We are very lucky to have a doctor of his ability servicing the Savannah area. Thank You, Tom McMillan
