Thank you to your amazing staff and Techs. You are all very professional and truly care about your patients. Thank you for the wonderful care and service.

I went to this office to find out why I was having episodes of rapid pulse rate for no apparent reason every few weeks. My EKG’s and an echocardiogram had been normal and I was in good health.
I found the doctor to be quite brusque and very dismissive. Expecting him to listen to me, I was taken aback when he let me know that HE would do the talking and when HE was done, I could speak. When I finally got the chance to say my piece, he pooh-pooh’ed what I had to say. He barely looked at the documentation I’d prepared.
My theory — much of it gleaned from the Internet — was that my vagus nerve was at the root of the problem. The doctor’s conclusion, however, was that I must have some sort of anxiety and I needed to get to the root of it.
I continued my vagus nerve research on the Internet and luckily, a woman with the same problem suggested sitting up during sleep. I have done so and since then, I have had no rapid pulse episodes.
