Louis Verreault-Julien, MD, MPH

Southeastern Cardiology is great! The front office is staffed with expedient and friendly people who make check-in easy and the wait time is rarely longer than 20 min. The doctor that I see is friendly, listens ti me and explains the treatment plan. The phlebotomist is very cheerful, an expert at taking blood and spoke to me in a friendly and positive manner.

TLDR: Dr. Julien unprofessional, arrogant, skeptical. Request Dr. Moon, Champion, or Lopez. All nurses and staff were 5 stars. I had the displeasure of getting Dr. Julien as my cardiologist recently. He arrived to my appointment with immediate arrogance. He spent most of his time with me glaring at me like I was beneath him or an idiot. I tried to quickly explain instead of ranting that my reasoning for seeing a cardiologist was family history of serious heart issues, pain and issues I was having and occupational stress/preventative testing. I also explained briefly that I had a history of high cholesterol, sugar and saturate fat diet as well as smoking which I've improved and quit, but seemed to leave me with residual damage. His "congratulations" was incredibly insincere like what you would receive from someone who dislikes you. He followed my quick description of my poor diet with an incredibly rudely toned "Is that your way of saying you're unhealthy?" again staring like I was an idiot and wasting his time. The second of the very few relevant questions he asked was if I had passed out recently, which I have four times in the last two years, mostly due to stress or anxiety. His attitude shifted towards what I would consider slightly concerned, but followed up with asking if I do any cocaine or heroin which I clearly stated no in the pre-examination paperwork, as well as never touching these drugs. He seemed skeptical that I was telling the truth which made me both uncomfortable and offended. After this, his tone was reluctant to help when explaining he would pass me for tests. I was happy because that's what I came for, not the ego of Louis. He bid me farewell, but before exiting the room, he turned back around and asked me what my occupation was. I explained that I traded in the stock exchange full time, sometimes working more than 24 hours of which both the hours and the stress seemed to cause constant heart issues. He responded again skeptical like before that I could work these asking if I traded crypto. It's truly none of his business which is why I referred to "my occupation" and given that he walked in arrogantly, I didn't need any more Quebecois attitude. "How do you work 24 hours if you don't trade crypto?" The idiot stare was back. "I do research and study the market." He repeated back to me "Research" in again, a skeptical, idiotic and unprofessional tone before leaving. Apparently only resident doctors are capable of working long hours or researching. And while I have never done hard drugs, I did overuse the same drug that most interns use: Caffeine, possibly leading to some of the palpitations or other issues I've had. To be clear, I've never been to a cardiologist, and I certainly don't go to talk crypto or investments anymore than a cardiologist goes to the gas station to talk heart health with loiterers. His bedside manners in our short visit were not only the worst I've encountered in my many appointments since moving to Columbus in 2021, but perhaps in my life. I immediately called back the next morning and rescheduled my appointments asking the extremely friendly front desk worker for a recommendation on a more established, kind doctor. She happily set me up with Dr. Moon, who seems wonderful looking at the reviews and I look forward to her help. All other staff have been helpful, professional and earn the 4.9 stars Southeastern Cardiology has. Had they not been able to, I would've went to a different clinic. While I see the banners and welcoming signs for Louis throughout the office and Facebook page, a warm welcome was the opposite of my experience with him. Request someone else if you can.

Everyone greets you with a smile. Everyone that I met today were very helpful. I am hopeful that the results are in for my Echo tomorrow. I am sure that I will hear from the doctor sometime tomorrow.

Great experience and professional staff and people. Dr. was very clear in explanation.

Outstanding Cardiologist. Professional, yet friendly and easy to talk to.
