Dr. Rougas should get a 5 - Star rating. No exaggeration, he is seriously the best doctor I have EVER encountered. He is spot-on and totally current with Cardiology (and nutrition, exercise and vitamin) research/data and he is brilliantly trained, innovative and thinks outside the proverbial box without disregard to convention. He listens extremely well and speaks slowly and with clarity, and he encourages preventive diagnostics when appropriate. He is a forward-thinking clinician, and he inspires me to be the very best I can be. These qualities are vitally important to me.
