Patient Reviews
Jan 31, 2021
Dr. Thomas Ahern was my cardiologist after my quadruple bypass for over 14 years until I moved back to another state. He was always very personable, always explained things in terms I could understand, was always very attentive to my concerns and never rush through my appointments. I highly recommend Dr.Ahern to anyone who wants a cardiologist who will take excellent care of you. I am just sorry I left his care.
