Excellent visit. After seeing 2 other cardiologists, I decise to try the one my husband uses. As with my husbands visit, the Sr and his staff were very caring and thorough. He even told me that he likes the new pcp I booked for my husband and that I made a good choice. I feel that I am in competant caring hands now.
