I found this whole outfit under par. The nurses were loud, eating and non-responsive - like everything was a joke. When my chest has been hurting for three weeks, I want some kind of assurance - not a bunch of silly acting staff/personnel - this is MY heart. I waited 11 days for my test results AND only then because I called them. The techs who handled my tests were so off the grid that if I didn't have pains in my chest before I did when I left there. One of them had her radio on so loud and was singing along to the point I couldn't hear when she said something to me...soooooo unprofessional. The nurse who did the stress test all of a sudden became the DOCTOR....she said I had a "bundle" and that it would be a thorn in my side for the rest of my life....I was left standing out in the hallway with nobody explaining to me what a "bundle" was and if I could leave, make a follow up appointment - over four hours and I never saw a doctor. I have made at least five phone calls to… their office regarding a blood pressure prescription with never, never a call back - finally had to go to my primary on a Friday evening and see if she would refill it for me. Today is Wednesday - I called three times on Friday. Was told nurse was at lunch. Next nurse said "I will text him (doctor) and see if he answers me"...obviously, there was never a connection because I haven't heard from him or his nurse (Cheryl) since. I have reported this group to my insurance company also. Sad, sad group.
