Dr Chidsey is the best (since Dr Fredi is no longer at VUMC).

Dr. Chidsey was efficient but warm, personable, and, most importantly, although I was in good health, the actions he took at the last visit very significantly improved my health and longterm outlook. He answered all my questions and offered observations that gave me insight into my health history, present condition, and future outlook. This motivates me to really step up my health behaviors with the hope of having good health for many years. I am very grateful for his commitment to his patients and his attitude and insight to improve my health.

Dr. Chidsey always takes the time to explain to me about my heart condition, what medicines that I take, and asking about what symptoms that I've been having. He congratulated me for losing 7 pounds and encouraged me to keep a healthy lifestyle.
