I went there getting an explanation for everything that was going on with my heart. She checked all the boxes. I completely understood and now I'm on board for whatever testing and medication comes next. She was very thorough and helpful

Always has her patients best interest in mind. Makes you feel like family. She isn’t afraid to give you a pep talk when it comes to heart health - a lot of us need it, she realized things seem to carry more weight coming from her than a significant other, and keeping our heart health a priority when it comes to diet and exercise. Obviously very knowledgeable in why she does and always willing to take time to explain and make sense of things for you.
