I was told to ignore clear red flag data. I was told he had no idea how to help me. Couldn’t care less and couldn’t bother to look at my significant health history. I waited an hour and he couldn’t even give me 5 minutes. He told me it made it seem like I wanted a heart diagnosis and was seeking out that exact thing. Thank god I moved to Albany med cardiology where they have actually noticed something wrong. Never using capital cardiology again. I’ve never left a review on any platform about anything ever. But this is so unacceptable.
