My first visit with Dr Peter-Faherty as my
previous Cardiologist retired. She had read all my files and was up to date whe she walked in. Very proactive approach and she’s young and won’t retire on me.

Fine physician but never seem to be seen anywhere near your appointment time. For example, today my appointment time was 9:15am. I was not seen until slightly after 10:00am.
