His condescending bedside manner was very offensive. He popped in and out and never asked me anything. When I tried to tell him, he just quoted me and proceeded to to listen to my heart and pop right back out.

Dr. Hector was running behind for my last visit 10-17-2018. My appointment was for a echo of my heart at 1:30pm followed by an appointment with Dr. Hector. I did not leave the Drs. office until 4:30pm. His visit with me was quick, he mentioned a valve problem with my heart but down played the issue by saying it's normal in people of your age (59). I found 3 more valve issues with my heart in the paperwork of my results sent home with me. I will be getting a second opinion.
