Patient
I had seen three cardiologists prior to my appointment with Dr. Pride, and I arrived at this visit feeling overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted from a lack of clear answers. From the moment Dr. Pride entered the room, he put me at ease with a light-hearted comment that immediately eased the tension. He took the time to truly listen as I expressed my concerns and shared my health goals. It was evident that he had thoroughly reviewed my chart beforehand, as he referenced several of my test results from memory. His attentiveness, empathy, and clinical knowledge gave me renewed confidence in my care plan. Together, we developed an exercise routine tailored to my condition, and for the first time in a long time, I felt hopeful. I cannot recommend Dr. Pride--or Duke--highly enough.
