Phone call from his nurse today. “Your bone density results came in today. You have osteoporosis and you need to begin Fosamax.” I asked if she could give me my t score. She said she didn’t know how to read the report. I asked how bad is my osteoporosis or where was it? In hips? In lumbar? She again said she couldn’t read it but just that i have it & i need fosamax. I asked her to please find out how to read it or have someone else read it. I haven’t heard from her again. Now I have to somehow get copy of my scan & find another Dr. to read it, because no one in Dr. Cardinale’s office apparently knows how to read a bone scan that Dr. Cardinale ordered.

Dr. Cardinale and his NP Angie Hardy, and their nurse staff along with the surgical staff at the surgical center are just incredible. I switched to Dr. Cardinale not knowing anything but what reviews had told me, and he is the best doctor I have had yet. He and his staff are so considerate of their patients, and each time I go to an appointment there, I feel like I am the only person they are worried about. I would recommend Dr. Cardinale to every mother-to-be and every woman seeking women's health.

Dr Cardinale has been treating me for many years. I had to change Dr's because my previous Dr moved out of state. At first I was apprehensive about having to "get to know" a new Dr.It was not long before I was comfortable and confident that choosing Dr Cardinale was a good choice. And his staff, "Jackie" is the BEST. Almost like visiting a friend.
