Dr. Ji has been my Cardiologist for many years. He is very professional, knowledgeable and caring. Despite his busy schedule he takes time to answer my questions. My 6 month visits are scheduled and generally maintained. However, if I request a intermediate appointment it is generally in the distant future due to his busy schedule. Thank you.

Dr. Ji was very thorough and explained the changes I need to make with my medications. Was a good meeting.

Excellent Doctor. Explains well and makes sure I have a complete understanding of whether it’s a diagnosis or the results of tests.
Dr. Ji a very good surgeon in my opinion and a very nice Man office very Organized told me the way my procedure was going to go and went very well just like He said. Appointments always set up very well.
Wish that he would not leave me the impression that he was in a rush.
Great
The onsite visit went very smoothly. I appreciate the design of the waiting room with the chairs physically reversed to prevent strangers sitting nearby. The staff upon entry was welcoming and gracious. Very efficient and kind. The doctor was quick to arrive and looked over the computer screen and my info. Then, most importantly, looked up and talked to be directly in the eye, without staring at the computer screen again. Unfortunately, the only failure, was the communication between the doctor and his assistant. As I have switched insurances and home delivery prescription service, I requested the doctor write scripts (if that is what the IngenioRX needed), for ALL of my prescriptions. Unfortunately, only three were done. It was not made clear to me that he couldn't approve the other two.
Doctor Ji listened to my concerns, eased my anxiety, provided helpful feedback, and is an awesome doctor. I highly recommend him. My concern with this practice is the turn around period for service. I waited in a line out the door for 10 minutes just to check into my appointment. There were 2 people working the line. There was at least 10 people in line waiting to check in. Then I had to wait another 25 minutes past my appointment time to actually get into a room. When I call on the phone it takes 20 minutes for the phone to be answered and then another 5 minutes to go through the automated responses. By the time I reach a person, I could be dead. More employees are needed to provide support to these hard working doctors.
Brief but helpful. No complaints.
Not rushed but time efficient. Chris the Medical Asst was great. Couldn’t have been better.
Dr. Ji and his staff are always so professional, courteous and timely with keeping appointments running smoothly.
Dr Ji is positive and knowledgeable.
He was very kind and pointed out the problems and gave good advice.
From the time I got to the office till the time Dr Ji saw me, was maybe 10 minutes. Very impressive! Dr Ji did explain to me what was going on and allowed me to ask some questions, which I am grateful for. I did feel a little rushed, but not obnoxiously so.
Dr. Ji is very thorough. I have a great deal of confidence in the cardiac care that I am receiving. Dr. Ji takes his time with you to answer all of your questions. I feel extremely comfortable speaking with him about my healthcare.
Dear Dr. Ji, "THANKS" so much for your continuous monitoring of my health and your opinions and advice. Also, "Thank You for keeping me alive". My Best Regards....................................Ed Mazula
