This provider was very gruff. He started my appointment by saying "why are you even here?" I have an additional cardiology imaging study scheduled and I asked if I still needed to have that study and then he said he is not that kind of cardiologist. I'm sorry I don't know the specifics behind each type of cardiologist and who does what but as a patient I don't think I should be expected to know that. I felt very uncomfortable at this appointment and wish I could have seen someone more caring.

The wait time between being brought into the exam room and the time the provider came in was excessive (40 minutes). I understand that the provider was taking appropriate time with the previous patient, Howerver, the nurse or tech could have come in and told us. Perhaps its time to tell nurses and techs they need to be more conscientious about patient waiting time.

Ok I'm so disappointed that a person has to wait more than two months to get a CT scan of the heart. Something has to be done about the wait times for testing and also the time from once a procedure is done to follow up with the provider.

We can almost never get into My Charts. When we ask for help ln how to get in we are told " a lot of people have trouble getting in ."

Very long wait. I was scheduled for 9:45 but didn't see the doctor until 10:45.

I would much rather speak to my medical professionals than use digital

Waited 45 min for 8 min with the doctor. He was judgemental and cold. He asked questions rapid fire and had me ask my pcp for the recommended referral. I will never see this provider again.

Some of the staff seemed to be speaking in sentences learned by rote. If there was a question, the answer was just the rote sentence repeated and no apparent attention paid to the question. It struck me as people following rules they had learned without really being "present" and thinking in the situation.

The only thing I can say is I'm glad that he's doing my surgery. He was very informative. Thank you.

We had to wait in the waiting room an hour and a half and I understand doctors have emergencies, but I think the staff could have stuck their head in and kind of gave us a clue that we were going to be sitting there for an hour and a half.

You have always been there for me! Thank You!

Very smart Doctor but I thought he was very rude!
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/13/2026
Waited nearly an hour to see the Doctor, after initial nurses pre-visit check, with no explanation!

I felt like I was being interrogated. Made me feel as though there is no hope for my condition. I will be seeking a second opinion. This was a wasted visit after being referred to this doctor by another cardiologist.

Professional, courteous and friendly treatment from check in through checkout

The doctor was very thorough explaining my atrial fibrillation, medications, treatments, etc. He was also very caring.

Could not access MyChart in cardiology department

Our hearing is diminished and sometimes hard to understand words with different dialect but using the whiteboard & explaining helped! Thank you!

I had a VERY hard time understanding the doctors English. Hard to listen to his accent.

I was called and asked to come in 15 minutes earlier than my appointment. So I came in 15 minutes earlier than was stated as my appointment that day. And the first thing that check-in says is, do you want to go have breakfast? There's a 45-minute wait. Why did you ask me to come in early if there's already a 45-minute wait? And then I had the tests at the end of last year for cardiology and nobody's ever gone over the test results with me at all. And the surgeon that I or the person I talked to never went over them at all. He just said, you have a weak heart and this is what's going on.

They have such nice people working there.

I waited over an hour then couldn't ask questions until he had finished his "presentation" despite telling him I understood the diagnosis. I repeated facts as he didn't listen when told the first time. He seemed irritated with my questions.

The person I spoke to did not listen or understand or explain where he was coming from. He was really disrespectful.

Felt very confident ,Dr.and staff very clear on what's to follow...

I have never seen this doctor before but he seemed very compassionate & explained the whole procedure very well. I was shocked I could get in so soon for my procedure since usually it's a long wait for any type of procedure. Not exactly sure how to say his name tho!!

Dr was very thorough, professional, and explained things very well, and, I felt confident, in trusting him. However, I struggled to understand, and grasp, a lot of what he said. With his accent, speed talking, and all the information, and questions, he had for me, I left, feeling very overwhelmed, and exhausted. Other than that, it was a good experience.

He wasn't very friendly, and acted like he just wanted to get out of there. But he did set me up for something really good so I know he at least listened to what I was saying.

I had many questions prior to this appointment but the doctor explained in depth the upcoming procedure and I felt at ease when I left.

Would have liked more information on treating heart issues - i.e. diet/exercise/stress etc... not just the education on the electrical workings of the heart.

Had to wait over 1/2 hour in the examination room for the doctor.
