Patient Reviews
Mar 03, 2023
Truly blessed to have found this amazing doctor. I was told at a previous cardiology practice my issues were weight and anxiety related due to my age. I am a little over weight but not excessively. The issues I was having were occuring throughout my childhood as well and I eventually thought it was just normal to pass out due to the lack of care from other doctors. He took the time and listened to my concerns and referred my to the electrophysiology department where I was able to have testing done and found I have an issue with my sinus node. When I was blacking out I was having periods of my heart pausing. This has been happening my entire life. I now have a pacemaker. Without this doctor's empathetic and understanding demeanor I would not have received the help I needed. I felt validated, rather than dismissed. I can't say enough good things about this doctor. I'm so happy I had the privilege of being treated by him.
