When I saw the Dr Peykar for the first time it had been a while seeing cardio due to life…read morecircumstances and moving multiple times, it wasn't first priority. At the office they discovered my pace maker was dead. I was then scheduled for my second generator change for which I was grateful. My pace maker is axillary(armpit). I had had this procedure before and was aware of the discomfort I would be in. Upon arrival they had difficulty getting an IV. After 6 or so attempts the picc team was called. I soon realized the IV access team would not be waited for because the doctor had clinic elsewhere, so Dr Peykar gained access through my femoral vein in OR. When I jumped from the initial puncture he said "you're a nurse" . The reason I jumped was because I was caught off guard from the cold fluid running between my legs and a needle being shoved into my groin. After surgery I was medicated for discomfort. Once in recovery once in post op. My post op nurse was able to document my pain level well and begged for a last dose before discharge from another provider. Dr Peykar refused to prescribe pain medication for post op pain at discharge at least 4 times. Twice from hospital staff and twice from my husband. He stated he didn't prescribe after a generator change. Although after speaking with the doctor he had never seen a pacemaker in the axillary area before. So how does he know exactly what's involved in recovery as far as pain?Lifting my arm and sleeping is impossible. That evening following discharge I was back in the emergency room due to pain, imagine that. Im sick and tired of "medical professionals " not listening or empathizing with their patients. I'm not a complainer or someone with a low tolerance in fact it's higher than normal. Childbirth was a walk in the park! I have worked as a nurse 25 years and I've had countless painful procedures but I have yet to come across someone that refuses and denies pain management following surgery. It's sadistic in my opinion . Makes you wonder why I'm not excited to see doctors in the first place.

I was moved along quickly without much wait time and Dr. Elliott's assistant, Oksana, greeted me and was extremely knowledgeable and displayed a very positive outlook in preparing me for my visit with Dr. Elliott. Greeting me for my stress tests was Jennifer and loi. Jennifer and Loi are outstanding nurses and assisted me throughout the test. They both were a fountain of knowledge. I was also impressed with having had many stress tests I never had the doctor present. This time Dr Elliott was with me at all times explaining and encouraging me. It was a pleasant and informative test and I thank everyone's involvement.
