Patient
The Dr is ok but the nurses are the pits, especially nurse Ratchet. Just went for an echo , waited 20 minutes, was told it would be at least 10 minutes more, so I gave up and left.

Thank you, Dr. Johanna. You are very professional, always seeking the best in the patient's health and well-being. Your assistant, Isabella, also checks if the patient has any medication and keeps everything up to date. In short, from the boss, Jessica, onwards, they are very efficient in everything. Thank you very much.
Found this doctor's office online. I know the climate of medical care has worsened but this is probably by far the worse experience I've had. I came for bariatric clearance and that turn into 4 visits, which makes no sense. It's like they were purposely trying to squeeze money out of my insurance (I'm pretty sure if I had Medicaid it would have been much different but I digress). On the initial phone call, I stated my only purpose for the visit was bariatric clearance. Why scheduled me just to come in and tell me I need to come back for testing? ironically the two tests I needed done cant be done on the same day. Because of their incompetence, I had to change my surgery date. I have only seen the PA every visit never seen the actual cardiologist. Shelby is rude, disgusting, and condescending and I wouldn't be surprised if she was a racist cause the unnecessary attitude anytime I called was ridiculous. Even in person when the PA asked her if there was anything she could do so I wouldn't have to reschedule my surgery date...... did she care? NO! I ended up calling back and speaking with the nice Indian front desk lady who got me in for my clearance appointment sooner so I could actually keep my new surgery date. WHAT A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!
Great cardiologist ! His knowledge on lipids was perfect. Great bedsite manner with my husband. Will be referring my family and friends here. Really cares about your longevity. Front desk caring and helped get us in sooner because we were nervous. Very happy.
My fiance was recommended to this Dr. He was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy and given a life vest. 3 weeks after this diagnosis he still hasn't been given or scheduled any tests to find out why his heart is pumping at 20%. What's worse....he has YET TO SEE THE DOCTOR AND ONLY SEEN A PA. We are done here and seeing a real cardiologist next week.
