First time seeing the doctor as we just moved into the area. He was prepared with a copy of the test results from my previous cardiologist, but a bit dismissive of some of our concerns. I have a follow up appointment in 6 months and hope the interaction is better.

The doctor was professional however as they say bedside manners were liking. For an [..] year old who tries hard to make appointments and keep up with her health was not felt by the doctor. To me he felt bothered and time wasted. Yes she is [...] and with that the heart seems to skip a beat but she just wanted more than anything else just a little compassion.
