Beware don’t let him touch you if you want to live. He has done my procedure 2 times and both times I have a problem breathing. Suffocating. I really don’t know who gave him a degree and he’s still practicing. I gave him one star because there weren’t any less.

Dr. Vicuna is among one of the worst doctors I have ever met. He was very rude to my mother who unfortunately has a hard time understanding English. I explained to the doctor that I was accompanying my mother to her appointment to make sure she and I understood her treatment plan. He was not only inconsiderate but displayed an attitude that he was superior to us and made facial expressions treating us like children. It is very unfortunate to have a doctor like this in the community and I feel for other patients who do not have family support and may be taken advantage of this doctor.

A great medical experience, office staff very very caring and professional. Dr. Vicuna seems caring, smart, and detailed, a rare mix of qualities. He tackles the issues with straight forward treatment and empirical observation and monitoring. I have seen This Cardiologist for a few years and I must say this one’s a keeper!!

Great doctor! I've been seeing him for a few years now after my stroke at 27y.o. and he has helped me greatly improved the condition of my heart. It was functioning at 25% when I first started seeing him and now it's at 45%. I'm very pleased. He has great bedside manner and overall, a pleasure to work with!
