Dr. Helguera is a pleasure to interact with. He is always calm, friendly and clear about his diagnosis. He provides background information about my personal health challenges, my current condition and the options for treatment available to me. After explaining the health condition he explained, as he has In the past, three treatment options and patiently responded to my questions about the specific pro's and con's and probable outcomes of each. He did not, again, as he did not In the past, recommend a specific option. After the discussion and my selection of the treatment I felt most positive about, he concurred that my decision was sound and in his professional opinion probably the best course of action. Most Important from this patient's point of view Is that Dr. Helguera Is clear In explaining his diagnosis and has patience while listening to and answering the patient's questions until a decision Is made by the patient that he as the doctor supports. Dr. Helguera Is current on related research and the latest treatment protocals. He Instills patient confidence and trust that the best care Is being provided. At 77 years of age, with over 25 years of cardiac related care and multiple doctors as a frame of reference, I put Dr. Helguera at the top because of his knowledge, temperment, communication skills and patience.
