Matt Topel was extremely impressive during my visit with him. He was the first doctor I think I've ever had who started by saying he read my chart - before he walked in! Amazing. And he had. He asked great questions and gave thoughtful and respectful answers to my questions. He spent an incredible amount of time with me and repeatedly turned the screen to show me what he was doing and what he was seeing in test results. We crafted a plan going forward. If all physicians were clones of Dr. Topel, the world would be in good hands.
I have the utmost respect for Dr. Topel. He listens (and explains) well and recites back to me what he heard. He is proactive which is appreciated.

Outstanding interaction with Dr. Topel.
This was my first visit with this practitioner. I was extremely satisfied with his care. He had reviewed my records, prior to seeing me; and he fully understood my cardiac history. He answered my questions thoroughly, and in a way that I could understand. He listened, and I felt heard. I feel confident in Dr. Toepel's skills, and in his ability to provide me with the cardiac care that I will need going forward. And, even though I know these physicians are busy, and have large patient-loads, he never made me feel like he was in a hurry. I always appreciate that.

Keep up good work
Love Dr Topel. He listens and is a concerned involved doctor.
Dr Topel shows genuine concern for me as a patient. Communicates very well, very much appreciated as a treating physician
Dr.Topel explained very well his decision to do a heart monitoring procedure short term.
When visiting a specialist, one who does not know what to look for or expect concerning care provided, in most cases will be a fair to good rating. Dr. Topel did look, feel, and listen to my pulse, heart and concerns and scheduled a stress test. But, I still left with the feeling something else could have possibly be done. Medication was suggested and Is important but a more in depth look at the heart could have possible be ordered to reassure not has changed and to ease the my mind ( the patient) from what I feel as I tried to describe my discomfort.
Dr. Topel is the best provider I have ever dealt with in the Emory system. He listen to me and develops a plan with me. He is very responsive to MyChart messages and really puts thought into decisions making.

My wife has always praised Dr. Topel and now I see why. He was the type of doctor you would want to make you feel comfortable and cared for. He was responsive, informative, and highly professional. He was a huge and refreshing change from my previous Emory Cardiologist.
Dr. Topel is an exceptional physician in terms of his kindness and consideration of my needs as a patient and person. Being smart/intelligent and having a firm grasp of knowledge within one specialty is standard and insufficient to provide quality care. Dr. Topel is the kind of physician who saves lives...not necessarily due to his keen knowledge and insight within cardiology, but he's the rare kind of provider who a patient can say "I need help." Super grateful for his care
Awesome provider. I'm wearing a patch for heart monitoring
