The IV never hurt going in my arm. The nurse was excellent in all phases of the CT scan. She was very personable and extremely able to allay all my fears. The only criticism I had was that it was extremely cold at 9 am and nowhere on your direction sheet was that you could bring a small blanket with you. Please put that on the direction sheet!!

Dr. Garcia changed my life! I was previously seeing another cardiologist who completely misdiagnosed my issue, and gave me medication that made me very sick that I had to end up going to the emergency room for. My emotional well-being a physical well-being was deteriorating. I went to see Dr. Garcia and he not only gave me hope That I was a lot healthier than I thought, but he also took the time to listen and care about what I was saying. He changed my medication slowly, found the right ones for me, and I am grateful for his professionalism and care.

Liked.thy Dr but had a poor impression because after the nurse brought him back and finished her report we waited a little over an hour for him to come back. No notification that he was really backed up. He was very attentive when he did arrive.
