Dr P was amazing! She listened because it's taken over a year to be diagnosed. She was extremely informative. She was understanding Because I didn't want a defibrillator, so she offered me a second option and relieved a lot of my stress. She was also very optimistic even though I have sarcoidosis in my heart, lungs and gut. She was very comforting and assured me I will get better. I only wish I was sent to her a year ago. She's an answered prayer.
