As a new patient, I only had a 5 minute wait to be in an examination room then spent 10 minutes with a nurse and seen Dr Cardona about 5 minutes later. I was in and out about as fast as any Dr visit that I have ever had. I felt the Dr explained everything well and provided the proper amount of time with me. So far so good.

Absolutely the worst office I have ever experienced. The staff is incompitant and patient was NOT even sent to ER with stoke like symptoms. Doctor is never available. Can't leave a message because voicemail is full. Take days to handle very urgent patient matters.

I was very pleased with the way Dr. Cardona answered my questions regarding a cardiac evaluation and let me know how to proceed. He was very professional and courteous and I was pleased with the visit.

A top cardiologist, electro-physiologist, and excellent overall doctor. Dr C combines the best of modern technology with old fashioned love and respect for his patients. As busy as he is, he treats you as though you are the only patient in his practice. Five stars!
