This provider listened and took my health concern seriously, she was very knowledgeable, taking her time with the visit. She allowed me room to ask questions. This provider used my past experiences and habits to rule out other potential causes. Overall I feel very informed, validated in my health concern and was told about preventive measures I can take to attempt to lessen my symptoms which was extremely helpful!

She's very knowledgeable, and shows real interest in my condition and history. Very good at explaining cardiology questions. She doesn't "talk down" when I ask questions. Open minded about approaches to my condition. Keeps in good touch with my primary physician. A++ grade

The conversations we had were mostly good. [...], it's quite rushed. For example, I had one more question that I really would have liked to ask, but I was in a hurry to get all questions out and I forgot that one. I don't feel like I will get that answered for the next 3-4 months (until my next appointment) and it's about what to do in an emergency that could happen with my condition, so that seems like not a great situation.
