Extreme difficulty occurs when trying schedule an appointment with my provider. Why can't appointments be made 1-year out and then change if necessary? Preferential scheduling should be given to long-term patients of CC. It's always a hassle and has been for the 17 years I've been going to CC.

Dr Martin is fantastic! He does an excellent job of explaining physiology and the procedures to correct issues. He takes him time, gives a thorough explanation, and gives you ample time to ask any questions. I've never felt as if he is rushing me on any appointment that I've ever had with him. He is an excellent provider and I would most certainly recommend him to anyone that I know who is having a heart issue.

I had been trying to get my follow up appointment since January since at procedure the dr said I should come back in 3 months. When I finally could get someone to get back with me there were no appts until May ( 2 months later). I suggest scheduling follow up appointments after surgery or procedures and give them to patient upon discharge. This would alleviate the issue.
