The Cardiologist is fantastic and includes me in my care and treatment. He goes over all test and procedures with me and let's me ask questions or add my thoughts or concerns into our discussions. I feel the cardiologist cares about me as a person and is treating me from a holistic approach whereby he's treating the whole person not just the symptom. Very professional physician.
