Superior care in every regard from total study of my new file prior to my first visit, clear explanation of heart systems, my symptoms, previous test information explanation from other doctors, and systematic explanation why and what next steps were. Thorough printout and meds waiting at my pharmacy on the drive home made it easy to feel confident I could manage all on my own. He also put my at ease by ruling out likelihood of carotic artery blockage by listening to this area and commenting about what he heard and how it would be different if there were severe blockages making me feel more relaxed about imminent danger. I also felt safe communicating with him as he dhowed respect and compassion in dealing with all my symptoms lending validity to their value in overall diagnoses. Highly recommend.
