Dr. Darren Peress

Ive had great results. He fixed my afib .explained the procedure. Also put a pace maker. differater all went well.. did an ablation to cure my afib ive been great for years. Dr. Lencero has been keeping me alive also ...thanks for your services am still here and Enjoying life!!!!

I was referred to Dr. Peress by my cardiologist who said he is excellent at what he does. My nurse practitioner also recommended him. I was warned that Dr. Peress does not keep his appointments on time and may not have the best bedside manner, but that he is good at what he does, electrocardiology. My appointment was for 8:30 am and he took me on time. He walked in, introduced himself, looked me in the eye when he spoke with me and was very professional. I have nothing but the highest regard for him. He took a few minutes to review my EKG's, ask questions, and determine my diagnosis. I have been having tachycardia attacks for over 25 years and never has a cardiologist been so exact in his analysis. He knew what I had and why I experience my heart symptoms. He drew a picture and explained in detail how my heart was operating. We discussed my options. They ranged from ablation to beta blockers to nothing at all. We agreed on what was best for me in my situation. I now had the… information I needed to make an informed decision which was to try a beta blocker when I have an episode. I know that if I choose in the future to have ablation, that I now have a cardiologist whom I trust to do the procedure and do it right! When you go to a specialist, you should not choose the person by his office staff, or how friendly he or she is, or whether they see you on time. You should select the most knowledgeable, most proficient, the one you are confident knows what he is doing and can perform the procedure correctly. If you choose Dr. Peress, you will be in the hands of someone you can trust.

Too much went wrong to detail.

After waiting for over an hour to be seen, we had to reschedule the appointment. 2nd time - same thing. The doctor spent 5 min with the patient! The office staff is very unprofessional, the last name was misspelled and despite the request to fix it twice, still remained unresolved.

successfully performed a procedure another Pima Heart Dr. attempted unsuccessfully a year earlier.

Went for second opinion looking for advice on afib issues. Waited 1 hour to be called to exam room. No explanation given for the delay. Once in the exam room waited another 45 minutes to see the doctor for about 10 minutes. Provided copies of previous records to assist with the consultation. It was questionable as to whether those reports were reviewed prior to talking to me. Left without any new information or another course of action to consider.

The first time I saw Dr. Peress, I waited 1 1/2 hours before I was taken to an examination room and given an EKG. Talked to his PA at length and Dr. Peress for a few minutes, who said, "Let's watch it." He seemed uninterested; I felt no rapport with him. Next visit was an earliest-available, requested by Dr. Morrales. I did not see Dr. Peress at all, but his PA who told me I needed an ablation. In my opinion, Dr. Peress cares little about his patients.
