Patient
I had a very disappointing experience at Nevada Heart and Vascular Center on Burnham Avenue during my appointment on November 10, 2025, at 3:10 PM. The medical assistant -- an African American male wearing a PIMA Medical Institute uniform (possibly a student or extern) -- failed to perform proper hand hygiene before putting on gloves for my ECG procedure. As a Registered Nurse, I politely reminded him about the importance of sanitizing his hands, but instead of accepting the feedback professionally, he became defensive and rude, accusing me of being disrespectful. That reaction alone was very unprofessional and concerning for a healthcare setting. The overall clinic atmosphere was also unfriendly and unwelcoming. The front and back staff lacked courtesy, and I overheard them asking patients for personal details like dates of birth in open areas -- which is not appropriate and violates patient privacy. The doctor I saw was dismissive and lacked empathy. He started the encounter by bluntly asking, "How can I help you?" even though my referral and information were already in his file. His heart assessment lasted only a few seconds, with minimal explanation or discussion of my concerns. It felt rushed and careless, as if he just wanted to move on to the next patient. I'm now scheduled for a follow-up test at a different location and sincerely hope the experience there will be more professional and patient-centered. This Burnham Avenue location was a waste of time, very disappointing, and left me extremely dissatisfied. I would not recommend this clinic based on my experience.
