Sacramento Heart & Vascular: Georg Emlein MD

Dr. Emlein is one of the few doctors I've encountered who really listens to and talks to his patients. He doesn't rush us through the appointment. Each person has different needs, and he takes the time to address these needs. I could overhear him with other patients, and I am glad he is personable. As a result, he is often not like clockwork with his timing. But this is a trade-off that I am happy to make. I just make my appointment later in the day, when I don't have to go back to work or to some other engagement. I don't think people remember the time when doctors in America weren't made to follow the "no more than 15 mins per patient" paradigm doctors today seem to follow. College counselors do this now, too. Quantity over quality is today's paradigm. But Dr. Emlein seems to operate to the beat of his own...heart.

Dr Emlein is knowledgeable and attentive. For the most part I have confidence in his skills and the care he provides. However, he's never on time. Often I have waited over an hour past my scheduled appointment to be seen. I have even tried making the first appointment of the day... as I write this review waiting for my 9:00am appointment, it is 9:45am and Dr Emlein has not yet arrived on site.

Dr. Georg Emlein, M.D. was a wonderful Cardiologist for my roommate. My roommate moved out of state. But before he moved away the doctor told him he was going to retire in December 2022 or sometime in 2023. I'm not sure if he retired or not.

Horrible my parent got appointment Thursday 5/30/19 @ 2:40 pm. They show up early check in wait 3 hrs later asked receptionist what's going on ? Reply simple Doctor is busy without explanation. Either they don't like Medicare or Bc my parent is Asian.? Think twice to book appointment with this doctor or office.
