I needed to talk to my doctor. I wrote on the portal many times times asking to please have my doctor call me. His nurse finally wrote me and talked about a drug and a monitor but not about what was happening to me. Finally after my fourth attempt of me begging for the doctor to call me she finally said he would see me...a week after I went into afib and that had never happened before. My watch notified me of afib and I was being diagnosed without talking to my doctor. I was scared. I finally saw my doctor and he was terrific. Getting to talk to him and getting an appointment to see him was awful.

Wishing to get explanation of conditions from both results. Due to limited time of the visit, I was not able to get explanation from both reports. I was recommended to see the surgeon doctor for fixing mitral valve problems. I left the CD from both tests to be uploaded into my records and was told I can get my CD back during my follow up visit with the surgeon. But I did not write a note taped on the CD. I haven't got the CD back on my 3/1 visit with the surgeon Dr. Navia. I was told it might be mailed to me.
