It was a fortunate day for me when I met Dr C the cardiologist I saw previously was away so I was referred to me my lucky day 🙏🏻
A wonderful doctor who addressed my issues and concerns quickly and professionally
Always grateful to Dr. C for the time, fairness, and explanation
Always explains testing results in clear terms. Great bed side manner. Wonderful office staff too.
Excellent Caring Dr.
Very pleased with my first visit today
Dr. C was very thoughtful and thorough. He seems very caring and we never felt rushed. I would highly recommend him.
My exams are thorough and conducted regularly to ensure my heart health. I have complete confidence in Dr. C., his judgments and recommendations. He explains everything in a manner that is easy for me to understand and to follow.
First visit & felt comfortable with new cardiologist.
First impressions are best….Dr. “C” is easy to talk to, excellent at explaining what and why he’s prescribing something and efficient without making me feel rushed.
