Since I was hospitalized out of state, Dr. Lee obtained a consent to get their afib readout which wasnt incl w my dc paperwork. I had been concerned my chart mult choice questions didnt accurately address my story, but even w paperwork there previsit and asst interview, Dr Lee turned to me and asked to hear the story. Appreciate attention to detail. Eye contact and good listening skills helped improve my heart as much as meds. He reassured me on use of meds, safety and gave me confidence I needed.
