Dr. Lee is very old school and cares for all of his patients extensively. I'd rather wait than have an abrupt and impersonal cardiology visit.

Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most…read moreracial and ethnic groups in the United States? Another staggering fact is one person dies every 37 seconds in the United States from cardiovascular disease. But, even more, frightening to me is knowing that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women. Just knowing these facts, I'm glad that Dr. Yamada is on my healthcare team at Queens Medical Center. I regard him as progressive, knowledgeable, compassionate yet straightforward with his explanations to me and I have been under his care for at least the past decade or longer. My scheduled annual office visits may include in-office treadmill stress tests or EKG in addition to getting my basic vital signs. Dr. Yamada has also prescribed other diagnostic tests to help him to decide if he needs to recommend changes in my lifestyle or medication. This time around, during pandemic restrictions, I participated in a telehealth visit. This was my first-time using HMSA's Online Care application. After registering for the application (on Friday, in preparation for my Monday appointment), I found this application easy-to-use and quite intuitive. On Monday morning, about 20 minutes prior to my designated appointment time, I signed in to the app's "Waiting Room". Then, about 3 minutes prior to my appointment time, Dr. Yamada's nurse signed me in to my appointment and Dr. Yamada made his appearance on-time as he usually does for office visits. The telehealth visit was just as good as an in-person visit except that I had taken my own blood pressure and weight at home. Yeah, yeah... unfortunately, I had to report the "Corona pounds" gains. Dr. Yamada had reviewed the results of the blood draws that I had taken a couple of days prior to this appointment. I guess that because of the pandemic concerns, he and his nurse were wearing face masks even for this session. I liked that their office takes this pandemic seriously and takes all possible precautions to not only protect themselves but to protect their patients. I sort of like this telehealth application as it was easy to use and I didn't even have to leave the comfort of my home. Anyway, I've already scheduled my next office visit in 2021 and look forward to the continued maintenance of good heart health through Dr. Yamada's recommendations.

They also have more teams like one to do the "Stress" tests and another to do the test that also checks your heart under stress but the stress is induced by chemicals.

Then my cardiologist informed me that the last time I took tests was ten years ago, so I was due for them. Luckily, I don't have heart conditions that require immediate attention. But let's face it, I'm getting older, and knowing that I have a cardiologist and an internist on my health care team who are genuinely concerned with my health is reassuring. My cardiologist's office put in their test requisitions for me, and I contacted Queen's Heart to set up my appointments. Fortunately, I could schedule two out of the three tests for this month. The schedulers at Queen's Heart are friendly and very accommodating. Today, I met with a sonographer, Martin T, RDCS, who administered the ultrasonic electrocardiogram. I admit that I was nervous about taking this test because my blood pressure was elevated, but Martin put my nervousness at ease with his professionalism and excellent communication skills. He was reassuring that I didn't need to worry and follow his instructions so he could get the best images of my heart and surrounding areas for medical interpretation. Martin advised me to access the test results on my digital medical records, MyChart. From scheduling and reception to test administration and results interpretation at the Queen's Heart Institute, I received personable, professional, and highly skilled care. My cardiologist was also very quick in responding to his review of the test results. I heartily recommend the Queen's Heart Institute for cardiovascular medicine, surgical care, and diagnostic testing.
