First, I would like to complement the woman that did my echocardiogram. Her name was Meredith and she was absolutely fantastic! She was caring, informative, empathetic, and knowledgeable, and I would be happy if she would perform all of my echocardiograms for the rest of my life.Next, I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kittleson. She is amazing at what she does. I leave her office feeling like I have an exciting life to live. She takes away all my fears and gives me solid information in a very pleasant manner. Again, I hope she is my cardiologist for the rest of my life.

Dr Kittleson is an amazing and supportive person. She knows about my condition, my treatment progress and is there for me in the future. I am very fortunate to have her help and care. No one could be more knowledgeable or aware of my disease or the treatment options for me. Her modification of my meds has been a significant improvement in my daily life.
