Very knowledgeable, explained proceedure in a kindly manner. Was disappointed to hear he would not be doing my pace- maker surgery.

My visit was successful for my goals, however his visit notes were inaccurate. He stated that I didn’t submit test data in my last visit, but I did and followed his instruction to the letter. It was in the platform emails and never logged in my records. So clearly that is why he misstated what he did. While I’m pleased he gave the tests needed, if the tests are positive for an issue, I will choose a different doctor or practice rather than go to him. He criticized me for being nonspecific but yet asked no questions and spent maybe 3-5 minutes for each visit. I don’t know what I need to say that he isn’t getting, so help me provide the right data or information to have my concerns taken seriously. It doesn’t inspire any confidence the way he dismissed my issues & didn’t seem interested in what was going on. It costs time and money to see a specialist and while I felt no choice but to go to him I’ll do what I can to avoid him in future.
