Patient Reviews

Patient

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with this cardiology office has been so consistently harmful that I feel a responsibility to speak up. Across multiple visits, I was repeatedly dismissed, minimized, and made to feel like an inconvenience rather than a patient seeking legitimate help. Instead of listening to my concerns, two different doctors told me they had "patients with worse symptoms" than mine, as if my suffering didn't matter. This kind of comparison is not only unprofessional -- it's cruel. I left most appointments in tears. The issues extended beyond in-person visits. My MyChart messages often went unanswered, important questions were ignored, and I was even told that I "wasn't disabled," despite the fact that I am. Having my lived reality denied so bluntly was incredibly invalidating. On top of that, I was given conflicting and inaccurate information about my condition, POTS, leaving me without proper guidance or support. These experiences didn't just frustrate me -- they caused genuine emotional harm. I now have medical PTSD because of how repeatedly dismissed, disbelieved, and unheard I was in this office. A cardiology practice should be a place where patients feel safe, respected, and taken seriously. Instead, I left every appointment feeling worse than when I arrived. I truly hope this office reevaluates how they treat their patients, because no one deserves to be spoken to, minimized, or neglected in the ways I was. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this practice to anyone seeking compassionate or competent care, especially for Dysautonomia (POTS).

As a caretaker for my 96 yo mother going into Wilmington from Topsail is a chore. However both the provider Martin (PA) and device check tech I think Karen(please look up her name) managed to see her back to back so as not to make two trips. However on the morning of the appointments 17 July she received a call needing her to come in 3 hours earlier. Not an early riser she didn't check the message until 2 hours before she needed to arrive or be rescheduled. After a prayer I jumped into action somehow making the Hampstead to Topsail to Wilmington in time. Going for the device check first although not the one needing to change times, our tech got her in and out to go across the street to see her provider. Being in the medical field I know this happens all of the time but as I have always done( sometimes unhappy patients) practice honestly is the best policy. So the provider thanked us profusely for coming in early and proceeded to tell us why.She didn't owe us anything but we so understood and were so grateful that she even came to work to see her. Quality care for the patient. Angie Ferguson daughter of Gloria H.

I have been going to this complex for over a year. My doctors,Dr. Meine and Dr Iler have both operated on me numerous times for a heart condition. both doctors never failed to explain in detail exactly what they were going to do and what I should expect. After each procedure, they would come in recovery and go over in detail what they had done while I was in the OR. The staff at Novant was equally proficient. They called several times once I came home to check on me. Each time I had to call the office they quickly responded to my concerns and handled them very quickly. This place saved my life.

Dr. Spencer is excellent! He has a laid back demeanor, yet let's you know that he's heard you. He'd already reviewed all of my prior visit notes related to our first appointment. I felt so relieved and confident in my care when I left his office. Highly recommend!!

I am so very happy to have Dr Garrett be my heart specialist. I like him as much as I like my Dr in Chapel Hill but now I don't have to drive there!
