The doctor was very kind and attentive and focused on how he might help me. Being my third specialist in cardiology I was visiting, he was curious as to what he could provide that the previous physicians could not. I am unsure if my provider's knowledge was better, or if his passion for his job was more abundant, but I can accurately say that he carried out his job perfectly. While providing me with a diagnosis of my symptoms, he explained that my condition was not necessarily expected to be a lifelong one, and, in addition, he provided me with various options for dealing with the condition such as dietary suggestions and types of exercise to engage in and the reasoning behind each tip. I arrived with the hope of a referral to a more narrowly focused physician and I left with the relief of knowing that my doctor was truly interested in helping me. One thing that stood out was that he apologized at the end for not being able to provide much in the way of treatment, but I can say that he exceeded my highest hopes for the appointment with his commitment to helping me.
