He has been instrumental in getting me back to health. Over the years he has guided me to the right doctors who verified his thoughts on a diagnosis. He has been a constant advocate and true caregiver in my journey to better health.

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.
