The art of medicine entails forging personal connections with one’s patients, communicating with family members, and being available day or night for whatever the patient needs.

He then went on to complete his training (residency, internship, and fellowship) at the prestigious Robert Wood Johnson School of Medicine in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Recognized as “Top Doctor” by Castle Connolly, Dr. Pianko is proud to call himself a “patient advocate,” working together with his patients in order to educate them on best practices and to tailor treatment options according to their individual needs and preferences. Central to his practice is an unwavering commitment to compassionate and quality care.
Internal medicine or general medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called internists. Cardiology is a branch of internal medicine. A cardiologist is not the same as a cardiac surgeon. A cardiac surgeon opens the chest and performs heart surgery. A cardiologist, like Dr. Pianko, specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the cardiovascular system.
Dr. Pianko is available at every stage of care – from the office to the hospital and from assisted living to rehabilitation. This is especially important in the care of elderly patients whose families may live far away. A doctor who advocates for the patient and communicates with family even from long distances can be the difference between excellent or simply adequate health care.
