Impressive level of knowledge and concern about my heath status
It made me feel like I was in good hands. The Doctor had reviewed my file prior to meeting with me and we discussed a very good patient care plan.
I really like the cardiologist! I wish I could get him next visit but he is to busy! Nice man! Very professional and tells it like it is!
Good conversation and time to get my questions answered.
