Good. We just didn’t cover one of the issues I was having . Swelling of both feet over last 6 weeks. Also i had a problem with the patch that was placed yesterday to monitor my heart. It had been placed upside down according to thShow moree customer support this AM. I removed it to place it the correct way but my skin was so irritated due to the adhesive which i am allergic to that I realized I would need the lead wire method for monitoring rather than the patch. Not all adhesives bother me but this is causing a rash. I called today for more instruction but it was lunch hr.
I had a problem with orthostatic hypotension that needed immediate attention and they got me an appointment that day. When I got to the office, they took me right into an examination room. The nurse took my vitals and Dr. T came rShow moreight in. He was familiar with my rather complicated medical history even though this was the first time he had seen me. He suggested various things to try above and beyond what I had been doing. He listened carefully to what I had to tell him. I went home feeling less anxious.

Timely and excellent defib check up and followup
Long wait but once Dr. T. Joined into the teleconference call, things went smooth and efficiently
Dr. T explains clearly the detail and reason of my treatment regime, tests and procedures.
Great communication
I feel the phone conversation with Doctor T was a visit to try to explain to me why I am in such great pain and the cause of me being extremely black-and-blue. I am still in the dark weather. This was a successful surgery or not.
Patient and very knowledgeable.
Timely and easy
Caring & knowledgeable cardiologist; thorough, easy to talk with, trustworthy. A great match for managing my multiple heart related issues.
Excellent doctor recommend him to anybody. Willing to help me. Stayed in the room and talked for a while very well set up in the room. All the staff was very friendly.
I’m not sure this telemedicine visit was necessary. Based on the conversation, I could have been scheduled for the required tests to approve my surgery without the delay waiting for this phone call. However the information in my record did not sound accurate. I was listed as short of breath. That has never been one of my symptoms. There appears to be a lack of accuracy and follow up with the office staff.
He took his time to explain my options and see that I understood them. A caring doctor…
All involved very courteous and progressional.
