Cardiology Physicians

Excellent service and team. Dr Clay was excellent. He personalized my visit, reviewed my history ahead of time, and answered my questions in a way that made the answers relevant to me. I highly recommend.

I had an interesting visit with one of CP's nurse practitioners. Routine visit, EKG, etc. Everything was fine. I asked for a script to measure LPa. Dr Copeland gave a script for it, but the lab made a mistake and measured LPA which is not the same as LPa. I have a family history of heart disease, and my Dad just passed from a failing replacement heart valve so as you can imagine, I take cardiac health seriously. The NP and no one else at the practice caught the mistake, but I did. No problem. I then asked to include in the script a full lipid profile. I'm going to get my blood drawn, why not run the whole thing? The NP had no problem with LPa, but she flatly refused to give a script for the other lipids saying it "did not fit the guidelines." I asked for the script again asking if there is a medical reason for not providing. She stated " you know there is no medical reason not to provide". She again flatly refused sighting guidelines, and that if I wanted to have my lipids analyzed I can pay for it myself. I told her that I have read the guidelines too, and there were inconsistencies in what I was hearing and the guidelines....too long to go over in this review. She then got visibly angry and stormed out of the examination room never to be seen again. No open discussion with the patient. Never had this sort of treatment from Dr Copeland. He was always very upfront, cooperative, and answered my questions. Disappointing to be treated this way by the NP.

My visit to Cardiology Physicians was impressive. From the front desk staff to the medical team and the office manager, professionalism, patient care, and efficiency were catalysts to the organization's success. Dr. Pastore exhibits superior medical knowledge, compassion, empathy, understanding, an outstanding work ethic, excellent communication skills, and strong listening and critical problem-solving abilities, all of which contribute to an exceptional patient experience. I highly recommend this practice for its high level of excellence and thorough care.

This was the best visit I've ever had with Cardiology Physicians in Delaware. My doctor was very engaging with me where I felt like a friend as well as a patient. This was "top notch" in every way!

Would have liked to have a written summary of the meeting. Other than that all went fine. I have been a customer of this practice for several years and think they do a very good job with communications plus actual tests and procedures.
