Didn't have to wait long; staff were kind and made you feel comfortable. Dr. Pfuetze generally cares about his patients and is very detailed about explaining things. He is also very personable and takes his time. I felt very comfortable asking lots of questions.

Dr. Pfuetze has been my cardiologist for many years. His expertise, caring attitude, and "no-rush to see the next patient" approach is truly outstanding. He is recognized by others in the profession (from nurses to doctors) to be one of the very best. Although I do not believe he is currently active in the operating room, his dianostic skills are amoung the top in his field. I know you would be as pleased with Dr. Pfuetze as I have been for many years.
