Dr Vivienne Smith is an excellent Cardiologist. She stays up to date on new developments in her field of Cardiology as well as current events in the world. She takes time to explain anything I don’t understand regarding any testing I have had done or procedures I have been through.
I TRUST her knowledge, experience and wisdom, as well as any references she may suggest (Heart Surgeons, or other specialists). Her staff is also knowledgable, experienced, and polite. In my humble opinion, she is the best Cardiologist I have had the privilege to know, and I believe her expertise is one of the reasons I am alive and getting better today.
