I will start by saying that I agree with the many other patients who have had scheduling problems…read morewith this practice. They constantly change appointment dates and times on you. I have found this to be extremely annoying as I an still employed and cannot just drop everything when the doctor wants to change the time from 4pm to 1pm the day of the appointment. The woman who calls about these changes is very condescending and offhand. This is the only reason I am giving this review four stars instead of five. Having said that, I have had good care from both the clinical cardiologist I saw [Dr. Jorge Navas] and the cardiologist who actually did the procedure to insert stents and balloons [Dr. Donald Kikta]. They both explained everything to me before and after the procedures. Dr. Kikta did more than was originally planned for the procedure I was having because he saw the need once he began working. I also have kudos for the nursing staff at the Morton Plant Cardio and Vascular unit who took care of me before and after the procedure. Thanks and a big shout out to Melissa G., Jodi H., Mike and Lineta. You made a difficult day much easier for both my daughter and me.

Before starting I'd like to note that I really like Dr. Fernandez. We were scheduled to see him for…read morean 8 month check up. Upon arrival, about 15 minutes before our 11 am appointment, we were informed that the doctor was running about 1 hour late. There were folks grumbling through out the waiting room and I must admit, I was beginning to rethink our cardiologist. It is hard to wait so long when it has taken so much out of my loved one to get there, and just by being in a cardiovascular surgeons office, you know every patient there has some sort of hardship. They really did get us into the office about 1 hour late and as soon as the doc came in, it was clear what was happening. Dr. Fernandez is one of the old fashioned docs who wants to know his patients and take the time to explain all options when dealing with heart conditions. He listens to every question and makes sure that you understand the answers he is giving you. I wish the scheduling staff would take note on how long the doctor visits each patient and start scheduling some catch up time in the schedules so that those who are there on time, don't have to wonder how much more time they must wait to see their doctor.

The check in system was quick and all I had to do was show my ID and insurance and I was done. The wait was only maybe 5 minutes before they called me back. Once in the back, I was shown how the monitor works, how to use the cell phone that goes along with it, and how to change the patches. What I thought I was getting put on was actually much different than it turned out to be. It used to be a little pack that you wore that would be around your waist but now its small sensor box that is attached to your skin over your heart that you just change every 4-5 days and the cell phone just has to be within 30 feet of you at all times. That was a huge relief. I was in and out of the office within 20 minutes and it was seamless. I hope all these appointments go this easily.

The hospital wanted me to stay to monitor but I promised to do a follow up. Im new here in Florida, so stayed within the same hospital group for a follow up consult. Dr Parag Patel is who I picked to visite on 1-25-2022. Im still recovering and very weak. The front desk help was exceptional and brought a smile to my face. As Dr Patel entered the exam room and asked my why I was there for a visit, I explained that I had a low HR that medical people were concerned about. He asked me if I had passed out or was dizzy, I replied not at the time. I had experienced chest pain, burning and shortness of breath. I also was experiencing indigestion symptoms. His response was of dismay and not understanding why I was there, he said everyone that has COVID is experiencing these things, its common and that if I wasn't passing out that I had nothing to worry about. It occurred to me at that time that he was very irritated with the situation and then proceeded to listen to my chest. I shared that I was upset with his bedside manner and that I could leave. He said he would set up tests, gave me paperwork to hand to check out to set up apts. I took paperwork, handed to very nice gentleman at the desk and left. Unfortunately Dr Patel is a very unhappy human being and the humanness of us underlings really pushes his buttons. I really hope that whatever is in the way of this doctor gets resolved, when people are sick, they require empathy.

Dr Cambier saved my life back in 2004, I feel I was lucky he was oncall when I suffered my heart…read moreattack. I have seen him at least once a year since and I like his small talk and personality. Also think he is one of the best in the business, but you don't have to take my word for it talk to the nurses, they know who is good and who is not! I don't normal write reviews but when I came across Mandy's I felt I had to make a comment. As I read her story it seemed to me she felt Dr Cambier was not a good doctor because he didn't agree with her diagnosis. She also said he ordered further tests, she didn't tell us the results probably because it didn't support her story. I never saw anyone in his offices (there are multiple) treating patience rudely. Mandy sounds to me to be intelligent but arrogant and high maintenance.

They were great at communicating what was going to happen and walked me through everything and even handled making sure Ben was called with a time to pick me up after the procedure and short recovery time at their office. It was nice that I didn't have to worry about that part and by the time I was ready to go, Ben was already outside waiting for me. Very smooth process from start to finish. Very much appreciated so all I had to do was try to relax and then go home to recover and get babied by Ben for the rest of the day.
