Patient
Absolutely unacceptable experience. This cardiologist flat-out told me he wasn't interested in finding a diagnosis--just wanted to "treat symptoms." Then he had the nerve to blame my dangerously high blood pressure on anxiety. The very next day, I was hospitalized for four days in a hypertensive crisis. They couldn't stabilize my vitals. Does that sound like anxiety? He missed a serious, possibly life-threatening condition because he didn't want to look deeper. That's not just lazy medicine--it's reckless. People like me don't need to be dismissed. We need doctors who actually care and know what they're doing. Do better.
