He’s been my cardiologist for several years now. It’s nice to have a Dr you can put your trust in. Really like the fact he explains everything and takes his time with you.

Not impressed as he wasn't up to date with my current information, hardly listened to my heart and certainly not long enough to notice irregular heartbeat. Not interested in listening to me. He couldn't get out the door quick enough, probably a 5 minute visit to tell me he's leaving the practice.

I was not feeling well physically or mentally and he just prescribed another med. I have never had high blood pressure and it was high when I saw him. Instead of listening to what I was saying about the stress and physical symptoms I was having he was quick to prescribe a high blood pressure med. Then left me in the room crying and never told me he was leaving the practice. I found that out at check-out. I did not feel heard. I felt like I was just an end of the day patient and he wanted to be done. Very poor bed side manner.
