Patient
Horrible. Went to this doctor for a second opinion and to hope he would be able to find answers to the issues I was having with my heart and instead I got blown off. Once he found out I was here for a second opinion he treated me like there was nothing wrong with me. I came in to his office having high blood pressure, PVC's and SVT's and he was not concerned at all of my issues. My blood pressure was very high when it was taken and he tells me it's probably cause I'm nervous from the visit. He didn't even address my PVC's or SVT's and said to continue to see my Penn Cardiologist because she's doing a fine job treating me. He then told me that I should see a pulmonologist cause he said it could be my asthma causing my issues. That's when I got up and left and couldn't believe I was treated like this. When I finally found a cardiologist who specializes in my kind of heart issues, he knew how to treat it right away. I was given Flecainide for the the SVT's/PVC's and Lisinopril for my high blood pressure. Now I'm doing much better and for this doctor I would definitely not recommend him. So much for his medical code of ethics!!!
