For this practice to be a cardiology and you go the office,when getting called to the back the medical staff smell of cigarettes is aweful some of the staff members are dirty looking. Scrubs are wrinkled and dirty looking. Glasses match the color of teeth (yellow).Will not give name so my father is not treated badly,until we can get him transfered from this office.

I feel since you performed surgery on my father his health is worse.I don't feel there was any need for a pacemaker...When the whole family believes he had a stroke..should have checked into things a little more in depth!!!Very unhappy with my fathers over all health now.

Best Doctor I have ever been too! Great bed side manner. Takes the time to sit and talk to you. You are not just another patient to him you are a person. I would highly recommend him.
