Dr. Taikowski is caring, smart and an excellent cardiologist

He takes the time to care for his patients. His sole weakness might be in his lack of familiarity with drug-drug interactions, but those should be caught by the Pharmacist filling the Rx's. This problem demands that a patient should use the same Pharmacist all of the time.

Great cardiologist!
