I had Covid-19 four years ago and had severe lung damage causing trauma to my heart. Dr. Maher was the first physician to see me out of ER. Since that time he has treated me in the hospital and his office numerous times and not only is he professional and attentive, but kind, caring, and informative. He remembers me, my problems, and my health issues, and can remember what I looked like from his last interaction, noticing weight loss or demeanor. With all the patients he sees he still had a personal connection with me and never ever mentioned payment or his bill. Truly a caring loving doctor that I would recommend to any heart patient looking for care. Thank you is not enough praise, but I am thankful, and happy to share my experience with Dr. Maher at Carolina Cardiology. John Weaver Jr.
