Dr. Rizaldy Javier Villegas

Dr. Villegas has an amazing bedside manner. He took the time to explain everything to me and to answer my questions. His office got me scheduled promptly.

My symptoms were vague, principally a matter of being extremely short winded. With other doctors I had had all the tests, EKG's, blood pressure, and so on. He listened to my story, looked at an EKG and told me that I was a candidate for a stress test but he thought that in my case it would be a waste of time and that I might not have a lot of it. I was rushed to catheterization and ultimately had a carotid endarterectomy for a 99% occlusion and four bypssses to handle five arterial obstructions. He took seriously the symptoms other doctors had ignored. In the condition I was in I would not likely have lived another month. In a nutshell, he saved my life. Now, 7 months later, I can live a normal life with no limitations. Sept 2011
