My provider was very knowledgeable and patient with any questions. He explained why necessary options are evaluated step by step so that I would receive the best outcome for optimum health. Procedures, treatment and recovery plans were discussed to better my complete understanding. He went beyond my expectations to reassure that I was informed. He represents Vanderbilt's excellent reputation for stellar medical practices.

I was distraught the last several days knowing that my symptoms had returned and fearing the worst. This appointment helped me come back to reality and put it into perspective. My husband noticed an obvious calm upon my return.

Dr Long was one of the most detailed, direct and interactive specialists I've ever met. He covered all of my questions and concerns with specific findings and conclusions and put my mind at ease. His manner is great, and my wife was so impressed that she is transferring from Ascension to see Dr Long as her cardiologist also.

Dr. Long is very good. He doesn't just rush in and out, he talks to you about your condition and puts you at ease by general conversation. Good doctor and a nice person.
