I did not make the appointment, My cardiologist made the appointment but sent no records. The appointment was made with Dr. G Ouma who specialized in veins and I needed a heart doctor. He was extremely nice and let me stay in the exam room while he spent over an hour trying t0 find a heart doctor for me and to see if he could find my records (which he didn't find). But he did connect me up with the heart doctor which I was incredibly grateful for as we had driven 4 hours to get there.
