Had to wait an hour and 20 min. before they called me in. 2 hour drive and had to hurry up and wait. They had me show up 20 min. Early and waited total hour and 20 min. Thought I was scheduled for an EKG. Didn't happen. Just spent 10 min with the doctor. Didn't feel it was worth the 6 hours out of my day for a doctor visit. Hope my heart is fine.

The doctor Cardiologist, I saw seemed to really Interested in getting the appointment over with, he spent about half of the 10 minute appointment. Just getting a repeat family history, even though I took several family histories while I was at my previous visit, and he would have had access to any of those. He then, he told me that the preliminary diagnosis was not accurate, which was a bit of a relief. But then basically just insinuated that it must be medication. And that he was just waiting on the results to be sure, even though we've cut back the medication but

He did not address my 30 day heart test. I mentioned about my recent cat scan of chest and what was seen. I even copied the results at library to show him he refused to look at it. He would not tell me about my enlarged heart. I need a new cardiologist please.
