I didn't like how the doctor was talking to me. He asked me questions and was cutting me off before I could answer the question fully. He was not friendly at all. He definitely showed no concern for me as the patient. It was like he was just there to do a job and not pleasant at all. If I wasn't desperate to see a cardiologist because of previously being discharged I would have left the appointment. The staff was nice and helpful but the doctor came off very rude and careless of my concerns. He ridiculed me for what the hospital did and why did they put me in a patch . Basically badgering me about the treatment of the hospital as if I told them how to treat me. I'm not the health professional,I'm just the patient. This was a not a good experience for me considering the issues I have already with my heart, anxiety, and stress. He's definitely there for just the check and not the patient. No compassion whatever
