Patient
I was very confused and disappointed by my visit today. I have been trying to get my POTS diagnosed , which I thought would happen today and it did not. I was told by him POTS is an increase of hr of more than 50bpm which is not true. It is an increase of 30 bpm upon standing after laying down. If he has looked at my heart monitor test that I wore for a week that happends often and it commonly rises above 120bpm. He put a pulse oximeter on my finger and told me to stand up out of the chair for a few seconds which is not a real POTS test. He didn't seem concerned about my laundry list of other symptoms that I know play into my POTS . He told me I have symptoms that I already knew I had and sent me on my way.

I DO NOT recommend this office. It doesn't even deserve 1 star. The staff doesn't know how to listen, you tell them the days you can't come due to work and they will schedule you on the days you are working. I can only imagine how hard it is for other patients who are really having health problems with their heart. My husband goes to this office. Got re-scheduled multiple times. It doesn't matter if the patient has a life as long as their is office is being accommodated. It's putting people's life endanger. So much for continuity of care, very unprofessional. Please find another cardiologist. This office has really bad customer service and bad practice.

Horrible service! Not only have I had to wait three weeks to get my results due to the Doctor being on vacation but now they are rescheduling me less than 24hrs for an additional three weeks. The office staff, has no compassion. These results and diagnosis have put my life already on hold. As I need them to be able to get my drivers license back and resume work or get on disability. It's an out rage. Won't even give me a callback. Let's remember that this office does have a cancellation policy for patients but are refusing to adhere to it.
