I repair equipment in the Cardiac Catheritization Lab where Dr. Love performs most of his cath procedures. I recently lost my cardiologist who I had been with as long as I have had heart problems. There were several cardiologist I could have chosen who are highly thought of by the staff in the cath lab and are excellent with there patients, but the reason I chose Dr. Love is because of the friendly and cordial way he interacts with the staff who serve under him. You can frequently hear his unmistackable laughter but I have never heard any cross or unkind words from him directed at the staff. That is why I chose to go with him over all the other cardiologist I could have chosen

His stall does not follow up with required paperwork to file workman's time loss claims. They just do not respond to any request nor do they care if there is a time limit for this paperwork to get sent to proper channels. Doctor needs to police his staff more regularly.

Dr. Love MIStreated and MISprescribed medications that CAUSED me to spend FOUR days in ICU after he cleared me for travel, the same day! The ICU stopped the FOUR medications he prescribed, and my critical blood readings miraculously became normal after 4 days of ICU. His medical staff was obnoxious, medically uninformed, and negligent in follow through with prescribed tasks.

I was treated 17 years ago by Dr. Love. So when my GP found a blockage, I wanted to see Dr. Love as I felt a trust with him. The quickest appointment was 6 weeks after my diagnosis. I showed up for my 1PM appointment, 40 minutes early. Got all my paperwork filled out and insurance cards copies ( I will not mention the comments that where made when they foud out that I only had Medicare). So 1PM came around and, now other paients start to show up. I would say 6 to 8 folks were waiting along with myself. I saw Dr. Love in the back, so I know he was there. The office staff starts to call paients back, they call everyone but me. It is now 1:35 and a sales rep gets to go in and see him (I saw this with my own eyes). I know that everyone gets to wait when they go to the doctor, but DANG!!, why do I come after a sales rep?? It seems to me that something is wrong here. I have always reccommended Dr. Love, but no more.
