I had a pacemaker installed March 20. Went to see Dr Class last week for my follow up his first words were it is time for your pacemaker replacement surgery which dr Eckart had never notified him it was done. Later in the day I received a phone call where the procedure was done which was Englewood. I have been trying to reach his nurse Nancy to no avail because I am still in discomfort with my left shoulder and back. I haven’t seen or spoken to him

Except for the pressure bandage coming loose before I got home and having a bruise all the way down to my waist everything went well. And I'm feeling so much better

Bright as hell, an excellent communicator, and you get the feeling you're sitting with an old friend, exchanging information and figuring out where to go from here. Those are all the things that make a doctor great
