BEST CARDIAC DOCTOR EVER!!!

Dec-2025
He was knowledgeable but often dismissive he asked what symptoms brought me in and when I tried to give him a short list he talked over me he later claimed I was all over the place. When I said my GP changed my meds for fear of liver damage he said that my liver was fine. He said that the alternative medicine did nothing and asked why I would want to stay on that. I left feeling I had been in a boxing ring. Even my husband who wanted to be there commented that I held my own. That should not be a result of a consultation. On 2 different occasions I had to tell him to stop and listen because I was not done speaking
My GP insisted I see a cardiologist. I made an appointment with my husband’s who is excellent but the earliest date I could get was May. The heart house was recommended by my GP because he said he needed me to see a cardiologist well before May. As soon as I get in to see my preferred doctor I will not return. In the meantime I will follow Dr Fertel’s directions.

Doctor Fertels has the best bedside manner and is very attentive. He explained everything clearly and gave a concise reason why a test is needed. I will be recommending Doctor Fertels to friends, family and coworkers.

Dr. Fertels is compassionate, caring, and capable of listening to his patients. He does not rush and he answers the patient’s questions.
