I’ve been a patient at PCA Cardiology for about five years, and I’ve always had a great experience. The staff is professional, friendly, and my appointments are consistently on time, which I really appreciate. The doctors take the time to listen and provide excellent care. I highly recommend PCA Cardiology.

From the minute I arrived at the office to check in all staff were courteous and helpful. Every interaction was very pleasant and professional. Dr Ard was extremely personable he listened to me and gave me explanations back in such a great way that allowed me to fully understand as a non medical professional what he was saying. I learnt more from him in 5 minutes than my prior cardiologist. I would recommend Dr Ard any time

There has been a lot of turnover in this practice in the last 5 to 10 years. But, each time each Dr is just phenomenal. Dr Ard is just the same. Didn’t spend a lot of time with him but very pleased with his manner. Very nice practice.
