Over ten years ago max became my cardiologist but only for a short time. Initially he diagnosed me…read moreas having a heart attack and sent me to what was the university community hospital for a heart catheter to determine damage. Upon next office visit after cath Max said I had not had a heart attack and would not provide me the catheter results. I decided to go elsewhere to continue care and the new dr could not obtain records. To date the records have not been provided to any doctor via request of that doctor. Max can kiss my ass until he explains why my doctors cannot have any of his records which I signed a release for. The end

I was referred to this cardiologist by my primary care physician after I was hospitalized with…read morecomplications after my pregnancy. I had done my hospital follow up with the hospital cardiologist but he didn't seem concerned with my symptoms so I decided to see another doctor and wound up with Dr. Rattes. Dr. Rattes takes a thorough medical history, listens to your concerns, performs a proper medical exam, and then will send you for testing as he sees necessary. He ends the visit by asking "have I answered all of your questions today". The first test didn't give a conclusive reason for my symptoms, so I am now having some more done. The staff was also friendly with helping me make appointments around my schedule to find child care and there is a portal where you can view your records.

After being in ICU in the hospital for 5 days I was not anxious to just be sitting in a regular doctors office. He wanted to wait 6 months for follow up testing just because he wasn't sure if my insurance would pay for it (without even checking) and didn't even perform an exam. I wound up asking my primary doctor for a referral to another cardiologist who has since diagnosed me with several issues that we are trying to find the cause of. And that follow up echo was scheduled and done within 3 weeks of me seeing him.

I never got to see the doctor in spite of being in the waiting room in plenty of time. A few weeks later I get a bill for a no show. I sent them $15. Now four months later I get a call from a debt collection agency for an escalated amount. No one at Family Medical Spzecialists cares about my knee. Dr Nimrod obviously has forgotten the Hippocric.
