Dr. Heins, is professional. Pleasant and I'm happy for him to be my cardiologist!.Now for my visit to the ER, everybody was courteous and friendly. But my finger needed stitches "six" it took one hour for the X-ray tech. To do the X-rays, clinically, and this 4 hrs.after my accident , perfusion and temperature of my hole finger was A ok. Sensation also fine I was able to exert pressure with my finger 360 with no pain.I needed it to be stitched! After 50 o more minutes, with an open wound to see residents MD's typing on a terminal...Is in my book unacceptable. The excuse was that they were waiting for a radiologist to review my X-rays , but in the end decided the bones were fine.
