The Dr. Spoke in such a low tone (quiet) I could neither understand what he was saying nor hear him. It was clear to me there was no room for questions regarding my BP, there was no explanation as to why I have high Blood Pressure. I finally just started nodding my head and saying ok, because I could not understand him. Very disappointed and unhappy with the level of care I have received at Pulse Heart. On the other hand, my husband gets great care there. I will not make an appointment with this phys. Again.

A bit of a language barrier & with him wearing a mask made it difficult to understand him. A very nice doctor though.
