I like the Dr but the scheduling has been awful.I've had to re/schedule my annual checkup 3 times because each time, at least a month before my appt, the Dr was said to not be available and each time it got pushed out 3 months. One time I was told I could see an NP and the next time, when I decided I might never get to see the Dr and I would be willing to see an NP I was told I couldn't see the NP! When I got this last notice to reschedule again ( a month prior to my appt again, so it wasn't a matter of the Dr being called out for an emergency) I waited for a couple weeks before calling to reschedule. Then when I did call I was informed that there was no issue, my appt was fine!So 9 months after I made my initial appt I finally got to see my Dr!

He was very kind yet professional and patient with me. It's my first time seeing a cardiologist and with my family history of heart attacks I was nervous.
