Terrible! Spends barely 5 mins w/you & hates an educated patient. Very stubborn & abusive. He talks politics w/older patients while keeping you waiting in the exam room. So unprofessional. He can't handle a patient who asks questions or advocates for himself. YOU have to ask for tests. He is not up-to-date in latest treatments & doesnt listen. He's rude, impatient & truly doesn't care about his patients esp those w/co-morbities. Each time I go I get chest pains bc of him. He's retiring & can't wait to get out. It shows. He has zero concerns about his patient's personal life which, if he took a holistic approach, effects their health. My internist told me he is resistant to new modalities & a holistic approach. He has other patients who will be exiting too.

Hate to stand out but I felt I could have had more time with him. He has been my cardiologist for over ten years. He seems to spend less time with me, and judging by the results of my latest tests I could use more.
