just drove an hour (one way) to get a stress test. was informed dr. garas canceled the test. was told they called me; a call i never got. earlier i spoke to them by phone because they couldn't get me scheduled before the authorization expired. i was told they had taken care of that and scheduled asap afterward. the desk staff was rude and incompetent. they seemed happy that i am seeking care from a different hospital.

Dr Garas saved my life. I was having a heart attack and he was great to me as well as to my family. I wish the world had more doctors like him.
