Dr. Smyrlis saved my life! On June 26, 2018, I was scheduled for a routine hip surgery at South Nassau/Mount Sinai Hospital. It was a day I’ll never forget. During the surgery, a blood clot formed in my hip and traveled to my heart (DVT), causing a massive heart attack. Dr. Smyrlis, who wasn’t scheduled to be in the room that day, immediately sprang into action. He coordinated approximately 15 nurses And surgical staff to perform CPR while I was in cardiac arrest. Miraculously, Dr. Smyrlis inserted a stent into my heart, re... read more

Two years ago I went into the ER of Mt. Sinai in Oceanside with chest pains. Luckily for me I was treated expertly by Dr. Smyrlis in the ER and hospital. He then became my cardiologist. To say that Dr. Smyrlis is a great doctor would be an understatement. He’s on top of everything,very thorough,always answers all your questions. He always gets back to you if something comes up between visits. I highly recommend him. I’ve had other cardiologists. None come close.

I can’t say enough kind words to about Dr. Smyrlis, because of him my daughter still has a father and I still have a husband. I first spoke with him on the phone moments after he saved him and he put my mind at ease that the worst part was past us. For the next two days he was there checking on him. The day after we left, he checked up again and I had questions and concerns and he answered them with no issues. I would recommend him a thousand times over. Thank you we are blessed we found you.

Dr Smrylis was a God send. I had a heart attack on a Saturday. Normally I would have had to wait until Monday to have any corrective procedure done, but after he reviewed my test results and monitored my EKG and heart monitor readings, he told me that he was going to call the team in right then because he recognized that I had a 100% blockage in at least one artery. The team rapidly got to work and dealt with it. Five days later I was back at work part time. But he cares as deeply to prevent a reoccurance. He's guiding me i... read more

Dr. Smyrlis is an amazing cardiologist. He and his team literally saved my life after I was revived from cardiac arrest. What really stands out to me is not just how incredible he is as a surgeon but also how available and attentive he’s been throughout my recovery. His follow-up care has been exceptional, and it’s clear he truly cares about his patients. I’m so grateful for him and his team—they’re lifesavers in every sense of the word!
