Due to a number of medical issues that I am dealing with, I am in more doctors' offices - in and out of the Vandy system - than I would like to be. Dr. Hood is hands-down the most competent, invested, personable, insightful, and attentive doctor who I have had the privilege of receiving care from on my intense, 7+-year medical journey. I simply cannot say enough good things about my experience with him.

Dr. Hood is always very kind and thorough when speaking to me about my heart and my care. One of the best cardiologist that I have had. So impressed with Dr. Hood and his staff, as well as the company as a whole, at Vanderbilt Heart.
