Dr. Ziada is a rock star cardiologist! No one else could diagnose me until I found him. It wasn't until he ran a specialized test that we discovered I have a heart condition that beta blockers actually aggravate and are very dangerous to be on. No wonder I wasn't getting better after my heart attack! No one else realized this and just kept me on beta blockers. It scares me to think what condition I'd be in if Dr. Ziada hadn't discover this and changed my medication. He is also so kind and puts me at ease every time I see him. I am so lucky I live only 2 hrs from the greatest heart hospital in the world with the absolute best doctor. Thank you Dr. Ziada for saving my life, my quality of life, and my sanity!
