Very difficult to get through to a doctor the past 6 months.

Dr. Shah was fantastic. His presence was excellent. He inspired confidence for me and I left the appointment feeling very calm after having seen a different cardiologist several months ago and being left without an explanation of a test I had gotten done. That is why I scheduled with Dr. Shah, I wanted to understand what was going on with my heart and specifically tachycardia for which I had been given medication but no explanation. I told Dr. Shah I needed to understand what was going on and had felt very dismissed at my other appointment. His listening skills were attentive and compassionate and he was most certainly not dismissive. I valued what he said as he explained it and took ample time with me to make sure I understand and to rule out something that he had apparently been concerned about. I did not realize until after I left that I felt calm for the first time in many months as I now understood what was happening and why. He allayed my fears about my heart and his presence and expertise allowed me to feel confident about my cardiac health. I felt very grateful for the visit. He and his nurse were both excellent. I really appreciated how much time he spent with me. He did not make me feel rushed and I felt he was thorough and took me seriously.

Provider had some unprofessional comments and I didn't appreciate his lack of concern with my symptoms. His after visit note does not reflect what we talked about, especially my symptoms and education documented was contradictory of what we had discussed. Also, the clinic was unable to obtain my EKG from my PCP at the time of the appt and did not do one at this appt. I would think it would be extremely important to have a baseline EKG when you see a cardiologist for the first time. He also didn't even listen to my heart, just my lungs for a few brief seconds.
